One of my favorites (that was on the Pete's Rock & Rye Jukebox forever)!

RIP Gordon

"I can't think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don't like. Every time I hear a song of his, it's like I wish it would last forever.... Lightfoot became a mentor for a long time. I think he probably still is to this day".

- Bob Dylan

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald had my full attention as when it happened I was living and working just a few miles from the port at St. Joseph, Michigan on Lake Michigan.  The Edmund Fitzgerald had visited that port numerous times, I was told by locals. Such a haunting song.

@holy-cow Still some of the most haunting lyrics ever written:

Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
