thank you, mg....

Mike Kennedy (the hubby) wrote this in 1982, a month or so after the sinking. He hasn't sung it years and used the made up name Ander Lough for the airfield ( pre-goggle years- he found Ander Lake on a map & substituted Lough for Lake - but I recently learned of Stephenville airfield & replaced it when I typed up the lyrics for Mike. He'll probably grumble a bit, it scans & is a tad closer to what happened. :)

Mike served on a US destroyer and they lost a man overboard- never recovered the body, so I think some of that got channeled into the song.

If you if you send me a PM I'll PM you back with an mp3 - but not too quickly... I'm slow.
