  1. I finished the Gales of November by John Bacon and it was excellent, details of the men and their jobs in the Edmund Fitzgerald and the shipping industry and the scariest Great Lake, Superior. Heartbreaking subject well explored in this book.

  5. Ted Tocks Covers - Year 8 - Day 93

    Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

    50 years ago today, Gordon Lightfoot read an article in ’Newsweek’ that served as a catalyst for writing this timeless song.

    “The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
    When the wave broke over the railing
    And every man knew, as the captain did too
    ‘Twas the witch of November come stealin’”

  11. People who love being gutted by listening to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald will very possibly also like Flowers of Bermuda by Stan Rogers.

    Sometimes I can listen to it, sometimes it destroys me.

  15. A belated #EdmundFitzgerald thought:

    Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian musician and national treasure, wrote The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald about actual events that took place in the US and went to great pains to portray them accurately and with integrity.

    Can you think of any examples of an American artist of any genre or medium who made something about an exclusively Canadian historic event and did it well?

    (I can't think of any, although they may exist, hence the question.)

  22. Canadian confession: I had no idea that Gordon Lightfoot released The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1976.

    I thought the song was much, much older. Because it sounds and feels older.

    But also because it's such an integral part of my experience of the soundscape of Canada that it's hard to imagine a time when it was ever not there. 1/2

  26. 2012 Legends – The Edmund Fitzgerald

    In 2012, Legends Drum and Bugle Corps form Kalamazoo, Michigan, performed a show about the Edmund Fitzgerald. While Lightfoot's hit was one of the musical selections and was the main motif throughout, Legends expanded on the music and the story with other selection.
