The great singer and storyteller, Gordon Lightfoot, passed away yesterday of natural causes at the age of 84. His lyrics were unique, even for 70's folk-rock, and I remember going out and buying the vinyl, just because I didn't want to have to wait for the radio to play a Lightfoot song that was constantly playing in my head... The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald.

RIP, minstrel...


"In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the maritime sailors' cathedral.
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald..."

I know he had others but that's the first song to ever come to mind with him and it's on my riding playlist.  RIP Mr. Lightfoot.

Add me to the list.  That song was the first thing I thought of when I heard he died.
