An amazing Dirge. One of the first songs I learned. As a son of a son of a sailor, it resonates to this day.

I was a kid when the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. I remember reading an extensive article in the weekender magazine that came in the Saturday newspaper all about the “Big Fitz” after the sinking. I also remember that the story was on the nightly news The National on CBC for several nights around that time. It was a big story that left a huge impression on me. Then the song came out and it’s been one I’ve listened to many times over the years. It’s a sad story really.

There are not many situations as lonely or terrifying as riding out a storm in a ship beyond design limits. I remember being in a bad lightning storm once with a 90’ aluminum mast above just waiting to get a hole blown through the bottom of the boat, but it never struck.

Thank You is my favorite Zeppelin song. He did a pretty good job, but there’s no replacing the original

True. I just like Cornell a lot. But, yes, often imitated, never duplicated, the original is way good.
