I recorded this fine ballad back when I was singing regularly on steamboats out on the Mississippi River. The passengers on our boats hadn't discovered CDs yet (1980s and 1990s) so I included it on a cassette I titled "ART THIEME---ON THE RIVER"

One o' these days it might be a Folk Legacy CD---fleshed out with some other river related folklore and songs. Anne Hills & Cindy Mangsen recorded my version of "Lost Jimmy Whalen"
