Just for the record...

I love Marty Robbins. I must have heard him sing fifty songs, some better than others, and I have never heard him give a bad performance. I wish I had had the opportunity to shake his hand before he died. There are greater musicians (a few), but nobody who gives me more pleasure.

Somewhat OT...

But this post reminded me that you like music, and I wanted to show you this link--

Have you ever heard this song? It came out 30 years ago, but I still get goosebumps when I hear it. It's a true story, and this particular video is intercut with some shots of the real ship.

Pretty sure I heard it before somewhere, but I did not know what it was, so thanks.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of my all-time favorites. Yeah, it definitely gives goosebumps.

It's a great song, isn't it?
