Allan Samuels The Story BEHIND the song! (58* d) RE: The Story BEHIND the song! 17 Sep 97


Pete-- nice chatting tonight with you. Hey, you guys-- we had FIVE in the chat room. Check it out!!

I had the pleasure of seeing G. Lightfoot in concert, he did sing "Edmund Fitzgerald". His entire intro (not his strong point as an entertainer) was "it's a good song and I'm glad I wrote it".

The MTA is a rewrite of The Ship That Never Returned. I don't know much more than that, but have seen the words and chords(all 3 of them) in folk song books.

I saw a PP&M concert and they DID say that Puff The Magic Dragon IS a simple children's song NOT about marijuana etc. ---Sometimes a cigar is only a cigar.

Pete, It is GREAT project, and DO please email it to me when it's ready.
