    I'm Ecuadorian like Lonesome George was, I got to see him in person in Galapagos. I remember seeing the efforts of the people and scientists to try to save him and his species. I'll miss him.

    Thanks for the song. I got to see him on display in NYC and I'm currently working to get a kids book about him, where he is the hero. I like the fact that in your song he met his lady in the sky.

    I also saw George in the Galapagos before he died. I had forgotten how tall he was, but that he was. He seemed older than his age (80s) and he definitely looked lonely, like he could feel the weight of being the last of his kind.
