Micki-

Thanks for composing this song, which celebrates both the intrepid human spirit and the inflexibility of railway bridges.

While I was in Portland West recently I saw a model of the Lady Washington at a museum, depicted as a lovely gaff-rigged sloop. I was disappointed, however, not to find a lookout in the crosstrees.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, who also sings this song
