11/10, this day in history

[Jack Straw]

I was 10 (1975) and I don't remember any of it.

I'll never forget the day. It was one of the windiest days of all and the temperature was falling all day. I was working outdoors too so maybe that is why I remember it. Didn't hear about the wreck until the next day but it did not surprise me with the weather being how it was.

One of the first songs I learned to play on the acoustic guitar. About four chords and a capo is all that is needed to get through the most of it. Remembering the lyrics is another. Cheat sheet for that.

I don't remember the wreck at the time, I was in high school at the time, but I had the pleasure of seeing Gordon Lightfoot perform that song in a small theater a month ago...

We had a very bad snowstorm (blizard) on that day/night I remember hearing about it the next morning and wondering if they would or could find any survivors.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Dave, we lived at Gaylord at the time and we also got snow that night.

 

[Gark]

I Remember it too well. Had a good friend who worked on the 'lakers' as an oiler in the engine room. Only by a last minute switch of scheduling, Stanley wasn't on the Fitzgerald. Lightfoot's song is haunting - to say the least.
