ClintonHammond, I'm getting a feel gfor your point of view.

I think I would Like Captain Torrez.

Mary Ellen Carter is one of my favorite songs.

Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald was. But like you, I've heard it way too many times. Gordon Packed a lot of information into an admittedly long song. I've read entire books with less information.

If Lightfoot said it was poorly written he was wrong. Through the media I've heard him on occaision denigrate his own songs and abilities. He rerecorded "Early Morning Rain" among other songs for "Gord's Gold" because he thought he couldn't sing well when he first recorded the songs. Millons of his fans would disagree.
