RE: PowerHouseCreatives Contest: Gordon Lightfoot’s Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
I remember when the wreck happened @redheadpei, and then later, the arrival of Gordon's song. This song has a great affect on me. I love all of Gordon's songs - what an artist he is - but he's getting up there, and he's had some health issues for a while now, but I hear he's getting around a little better now and still touring at 80!
You did a great job writing about this song! I'm so glad it was the one you'd heard last before this contest!
Thanks @free-reign. Your appreciation means a lot. Lightfoot is getting up in age and after a serious illness there were reports he had passed. After that , at one concert he came out on stage and said. “The rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Lol
