Gordon Lightfoot  -The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

Always been a favorite. Great story telling in song. A lost art today.

Here's another Lightfoot song that I've long loved. Sundown was the first of his songs I'd ever heard. This in 1974 while I was still in H.S. I've been a fan since then. I always thought he was singing about a hooker. The actual story is in the link below. I was close but not quite. I really enjoy the Professor of Rock videos. Great backstories. RIP Gordon Lightfoot. You were an amazing songwriter/singer.

The album that made me a lifelong fan, although I already Liked Fairport Convention. He doesn't get over here so much these days so haven't managed to see him for a while.

And for those of you going 'Who?' - don't worry, it's a common reaction; but both the album and Thompson are in Rolling Stone's 'greatest' lists.

I am no longer in the homepage picture. I would have been but the bus home came along before they took it 😟.

Shameless self promoting, but I have a NWOBHM-esque metal band, just an old man hobby. Kind of a cross between Maiden/Priest/Dio-era Sabbath/Accept/etc. If you hate those bands you’ll hate us. 😀

Anyway, it’s not about the PTO but I wrote a song about the Battle of Britain  as told from the perspective of a Hurricane pilot, called Their Finest Hour. I’ll put a link here to YouTube if interested in checking it out. No video, just sonic bombast.

Saw her perform as the opening act for Prince in February 1985 at the Forum in Los Angeles.
