I've loved many disaster songs all my life: notably 'Edmond Fitzgerald' and 'Cold Missouri Waters' of late.Got to tell you, there is a different story when you've lived through that particular disaster being mentioned in the song.
I lived in Oklahoma City in April 1995 and lost a co-worker, plus friends lost family, etc. in the Murrah Building Bombing.
Couple of years ago, I heard a filk CD by Cat Faber with a song titled Wednesday, April 19, 1995. I listened with a good deal of trepidation. Heard the song once---got rid of the CD. Just can't listen again.
