re: The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down…

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the maritime sailors' cathedral
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call 'gitche gumee'
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early

the searchers told gordon, gordon told me

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake

Sometimes I think it's a shame,
When I get feelin better when I'm feelin no pain...

Some notable Gordon Lightfoot songs:

"Early Mornin' Rain"
"For Lovin' Me"
"Carefree Highway"
"Sundown"
"If You Could Read My Mind"

I didn't expect so many of you to be Gordon Lightfoot fans. Maybe the OT isn't as full of retards as I thought it was.

I am no longer stuck in Landmass, but the name's the name.

Went to the museum in Duluth and it amazed me that the Great Lakes are that deep in some sections. I fished a few sections of that lake with some buddies and it is crystal clear with blueish tint near Duluth. Very beautiful lake with some nice grass beds for smallmouth bass.

Some of the old salts I grew up around knew this poem/song.
Legend has it that a young teen had boarded the boat, but was forced off since he was too young.
