BendRick, the song RESTLESS mentions "the muskie and the old trout too". And the lee (of an island etc) is the back side, but I understand it's more specifically the sheltered side, protected from the wind.
Keep the additions and subtractions coming, folks, but please back up each subtraction with a song title if possible.
