Gooood song! It was kind of chopped up for listening, but a fine thought, to post it, Drift.

Thanks, Gordon. :o)

Played it again. It was me. Came through fine, this time.

A bonus! Jay and Molly...with a fiddle tune for the universe...so achingly exquisite that Centaurians a million light years away must have cried when they heard it...

Thanks, Drift.

A very haunting chantey from my youth. We should never have have lost that ship.

You might also try to find the cover version of that song by Canada's own Rheostatics.

So rarely does a song capture the emotion of an event the way this one does. Haunting and beautiful, sweet video to boot. Thanks DG.

Damn you, Clinton!
Where was Bill in 1975? Can you prove he *didn't* sabotage the ship????

Well, it's early November, and it's already windy here.

If the Fitzgerald had sunk in the place at the video beginning, everyone would've walked ashore.

I thought I was the only one who still liked that song.

As a native Michigander - who thinks Chicago is a GREAT town - that vid brings back some sweet memories...

Thanx Driftie!

P.S. - You and LoLo are invited to the movies with Steven and I.

That's a great video - with two exquisite pieces of music. "Ashokan Farewell" transformed Ken Burns' "CIvil War" docu-marathon from a good documentarty into a masterpiece.

Thank you for posting this. What a great video. I am a career Merchant Marine so this song always had great meaning.
