Comes from the old commercial CW ops that worked on the great lakes steamers in the first quarter of the 20th century. If you want to hear the actual swing, make a sked with me. The guy that taught m

Being an old Lake Erie sailor, I could make a wild guess as to the origin of the term. Lake Erie is known for it's shallow waters and extreme choppiness in many situations where the "other" great lak
