I will make you guys a list of what I put on my strange CD when I figure it out. I can guarantee that my oldest will try to keep it for herself (as is customary.) But what I don't understand about this is why does she always take my CDs if she hates my music so much???? hmmmmmmmm
And his version of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. There ain't no way anyone else could ever sing it better. At lest in my opinion! Tom
does anyone know, where the love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours......
Love that song.
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
In the ruins of her ice water mansion"
These lines nearly got me killed!
My buddy and I were canoeing in the Canadian wilderness. We were on a lake that we knew to be at least 200 feet deep. Crystal clear water. There was not another person within 15 miles of us.
We came to a place where there was a smooth rock cliff that rose straight up from the water and went about 100 feet high. We were 5 feet from this cliff, in the canoe. You could look down and see this cliff going at least 50 feet down underwater, you had the feeling that it went straight down for 200 feet.
It was an eerie feeling being in that spot in that fragile little boat, it even gave me a feeling of acrophobia.
But it just freaked my buddy out. He said it reminded him of the "icewater mansions" in the Gordon Lightfoot song.
We both knew "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by heart.
Everybody in that ship died, plus, we were only about 50 miles away from Lake Superior. Somehow, it all began piling up on my pal.
He started having a panic attack. This was extraordinary because I knew him well and he had never had a panic attack before.
He grabbed the sides of the canoe and started shaking the boat. It is very easy to tip a canoe.
Fortunately, I was in the back. I told my buddy to put his paddle in the boat and just lay down on the bottom of the canoe. I told him that it was ok and I would handle it. He did what I said, and I paddled us past the sheer granite face. It was about 300 feet and we got to the regular shoreline. After that my buddy was ok.
That water was about 40 degrees, had our canoe tipped there, that would have been a damn tough swim to the safety of the shore, could have been all over.
