Gordon Lightfoot is playing at the State Theatre in Ithaca on Saturday if anyone is interested.

The Church bell chimed, and it rang 29 times......

Saw him last Saturday in Niagara Falls.  He was ill in 2002 and his voice has never recovered, still he is a legend and he will be celebrating turning 77 next week.  He was also up in Whitefish Falls, Wisconsin on Tuesday to meet with family members of the Fitzgerald crew.

Excellent stuff Glen, thanks for sharing. My dad played "If you could read my mind" all the time and I can remember when "Sundown" was top of the "charts".

Thanks for posting. I remember the day it happened and for awhile they thought the ship may have been taken someplace by the wind and they were hoping it didn't sink.....only to discover there was not a trace.... real lesson about the ferocity of the Great Lakes each of them has its true danger and it always has to be kept in the back of ones mind when out there.
