That song still gives me the chills. It's a masterpiece!Gordon Lightfoot has stayed in contact with the families of the 29 men who perished and I read somewhere that all the royalties from the recording have been given to the families. What a class act is Gordon Lightfoot! Sadly he had a serious illness 10 years ago and was in a coma for six weeks. He came through it and is still performing

He played here last year. I would have liked going to see him but I couldn't get off work. Hopefully he'll play here again soon.
