Thanks ButThreeLeftsDo.

Can you drag a catfish without hitting a shipwreck in Lake Superior?

[ReformedBeckite]

Wow all three masts were broke off near the deck on this ship that went down, must of been a real wicked storm. I can see one mask being broke off but all three makes it a very wicked storm.

I could listen to that song a hundred times and never get tired of it.

Funny, I’m the opposite.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Hearing it once is like hearing it a hundred times. LOL

Then why post it?

five or six years ago, I played that song for a friend who had never heard it before. Two weeks ago he called to ask for the title so he could play it for his daughter.

It’s absolutely haunting.

Even though I live in Maryland, I had a painting of the Fitz hanging in my living room. My mom owns it but my brother and I are taking turns as caretakers. One of us will eventually own it.

I do admit it is kind of long and repetitive - but for some reason..

Hello!?

[Kommodor]

Hey, at least he’s lookin’ better than Keith Richard.

Maybe.

Lightfoot was born Nov. 17, 1938. Looking at that photo, I have to wonder if he has had a stroke as one side of his face looks a bit different than the other.

I must say that I have always been a Gordon Lightfoot fan. People point out his Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald as if it were the only thing he ever wrote. This man's music catalog is large. Such a lovely voice.
