Dude's Still Got It

Wow ! That is great ! Love his music.
Edmund Fitz always made me visualize Lake Superior . All of you Great Lakes guys know what I mean . It really captured the essence of the lake in a storm !
 
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald has got to be one of the greatest songs ever written. It's scary and spooky sounding......just like ship going down in a storm. He did those 29 souls justice writing that one. What a masterpiece. I can play it forward, backward and inside out on the guitar and mandolin, but damned if I can remember all of the words! lol
 
Yes Rob, "spooky" is a good word to describe it. Here's one with the words for ya!!

Oh yeah. I've played and sung right along with it. But there are just too many damned verses for this old mind to remember. I've tried a thousand times. I always @#$! it up somewhere. LOL
 
...and I'll tell you somethin else.......if you read about that ship, it was top of the line and cuttin edge for its day. There had never been anything like it before. It was basically a floating Hilton Hotel.
 
Yeah, drinkin does it too. Knew a local girl for years.....she was a waitress at the local Waffle House. She was actually really pretty......a long time ago. She smoked like 4 packs a day and drank BAD. She had a massive stroke and died about two years ago. Even shortly before that, through all the deep wrinkles, she could glam up pretty good and still had a sparkle in her eye. Sweet girl too. It was a real shame. She was three years younger than I am. I'm 55.
Gosh Rusty’s old ......glad I was born in 1964......
:lol:
 
If You Could Read My Mind is a total masterpiece.

I remember in around 2002 the hard rock station I was listening to, Q107 in Toronto announced that Gordon Lightfoot was in hospital and in “grave condition” and that it wasn’t likely he would survive.

Here we are 18 years later and he’s still putting on a mesmerizing performance.

When the radio station at the cottage plays one of his songs, you can hear every camp fire on the lake singing along.

My problem is what I chose to do for a living. Alignment and suspension work is not kind to your body. My feet, knees and hips are paying the price now.
