We were up north when it went down, but that was long before cell phones and web, so we learned of it from the next morning’s front page at some diner. It seemed like the GL song came out the next day, but of course it took a while. I’ve never much liked the song, but the line that gets me every time is, “the church bell chimed, it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

I prefer a different Canadian songwriter:

Thanks for the ping; thread. The lore of Lake Superior in a hauntingly beautiful melody by Lightfoot. One of my mom’s (RIP) favorites as she was born and raised in the Keweenaw peninsula jutting out into Lake Superior.

Condolence to the families of all who have perished in the Great Lakes.

Man vs. nature BUMP!
