Such a tragedy. However, if you ever want to clear out a party, put that song on. You’re welcome.

It’s an “ear worm” for me;’ once I hear it, I can’t stop humming it all day long. Heh.

When Gordon Lightfoot passed away earlier this year, the Mariners’ Church of Detroit rang its bell 30 times. Once for every man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. And once for Lightfoot.

Right on! It’s a timeless folk classic. (I’m listening to The Stooges at the moment.)

Terrific song. One of mom’s (born and raised in upper Michigan) favorites. R.I.P. mom. R.I.P. Gordon.
Thanks for posting.

That was a memorial service for Lightfoot, and quite appropriate.
The same will happen today.
When I worked downtown (3 years) I attended the service each of 2 years on 11/10.
