Can Hear Gordon singing it now....
One of my favorite bits from a definite favorite radio personality was Tommy Mischke’s interview with a documenter of “The Mystery of the Edmund Fitzgerald”. Go to 7:40 to hear the original interview where Tommy sang the questions, then back to the beginning to hear his retrospective explanation of the experience.

For further delving into this modern presenter of Golden Age Radio, check out www.mischkemadness.com and their plethora of audio archives. Mischke was an amazing interviewer, brilliantly clever mind, surprisingly wonderful musician and thoroughly quick-witted storyteller (which you would have to be for a live call-in radio show)...almost a cross between The Onion and Robin Williams.
Played the song in memory of that event which I remember well.
That was 1975. In 2016 it was the “Witch of November” that went under.
