Edmund Fitzgerald Day

[Kelliezgirl]

50 years ago today the Edmund Fitzgerald took 29 souls on their final voyage.

They left behind a master class in lyrical storytelling.

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

Always loved this line.

Most know the original lyrics, but Gordon took a lot of heat for some of them and had to change them in later years.

Detroit Meteorologist Sonny Eliot was involved in the excursions to find and retrieve the bell that was supposed to sound today.

So cool that The Maritime Sailors Cathedral rang the bell thirty times when Gordon Lightfoot passed.

And their bodies will never be found.

There was a band from Oxford in the 00's called The Edmund Fitzgerald. They were really good.

As you were.

Never heard of them. Sunk without a trace?

Sorry, I'll see myself out.
