The Lightfoot Liner

[rainydayperson]

Welcome aboard mates. The Corfid.Com crew is about to set off on a 30 day luxury cruise aboard the Lightfoot Liner. Who will be there? What entertainment will we have? Will there be other stars? Will anyone fall in love? Might we run into any mishaps? What meals will we enjoy? What course will we take? Use your imagination mate and fill us in on all the glorious details.

What a time we'll all have. The evening entertainment will be Gord and the band. During the day, those who play can sit down and jam with the band. I just have one concern, though:
Will people be superstitious about anyone playing The Wreck and The Ballad of Yarmouth Castle? I know it would really stink if they weren't played, but I don't want to temp the fates either!

[SilverHeels]

Great topic, CMDJ, but this needs careful thought. I'll be back. Oh boy, I cant
wait to set off on this cruise. Just off
to pack.

[Rebecca]

This is truly a great topic! I, too, will have to give it more thought, but in the meantime, I have just one suggestion. Gord and the band are probably unwilling to provide 100% of the entertainment. With this in mind, I nominate Dr. Rob Wells for the times that Gord and the band insist on resting.
Maybe we can take some recording equipment along, and then Bru can have the CD she's been asking for.
How about it, Rob?

[Wingdrops]

Not superstitious about the music. But are we sailing 'round old Cape Horn or thru the Triangle?

Good idea, Heather! And can we please
make a stop over at 'Christian Island'?
Be later later ... still packing!

[SilverHeels]

Be later later? I am SO excited! That
should have read: be back later.
One more thing 2M2L has a gift for writing
parodies - he could perform at least one
during the set breaks.
Who is the Captain on this ship and how do we get to sit at his table with Gord and the band?

By the right of my birth

Getting under way we turned 'er westward bound
On that southern sea
To sea what ecstasy was worth"

In planning the itinerary, don't forget to stop and pick up the fans from down under.

We must visit Biscuit City! When do we embark on the Lightfoot Liner? Maybe Old Dan can spin some wax. Sounds like fun!

If we're going to Biscuit City, you gals know what to pack.

Me. Guess I've already got all I need !!!

We should probably go there last. Sounds like a place that would be tough to leave.

Stopovers could be fun at 'Hangdog

and find ourselves 'Alberta Bound'.
When are we leaving?

[SilverHeels]

Hey - just got back from the Lightfoot Liner
office - my ticket is in my hot little hand
and guess who was there buying his ticket
for the cruise? Kristofferson!

Cap'n - are you paying attention to all this.
Need to get this show on the road.

[Wingdrops]

I certainly hope this ship has not recently taken on a fine young skipper.

It's 10 degrees and getting colder when he'd soon run her up on a Boulder. Dam. I'm getting mixed up. LOL

Where's that travel agent? There's a warm wind tonight and the moon turns the tide. Let's get going! We're all assembled, awaiting a soft command. Who brought those ponies on board? I can guess who .....

I have found the open ocean
Give me no lip
The waves roll by as I pass on
A sunlit sea
On the first day of April
How fresh the wind
Will you miss me when I'm gone

2M2L - there'll be apple pie aplenty up

APPLE PIE??? LOL
I think the captain should be Jimmy Buffett!
Oh what a time we'll have - Jimmy, Gord and Kris! And ME!!
LOL
Char
there will be a detour after Christian Island -across Lake Ontario, up the St.Lawrence, down the east coast after visiting Jimmy's relatives in Cape Breton and on to the Caribbean!

After going up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe (shouldn't that be down even tho it's northeast?), I don't want to hurry to tropical climates just yet. Is the ice still in the river? We can take it slowly - just for now I'd like to rest in the shade of a maple tree. Perhaps linger a bit to say Farewell Nova Scotia. We never were bothered by time. Then south to New York to pick up some perfume downtown (I remember it well). There's still time for one last glass of ale. Another lazy morning.

let us travel if we choose into a land of
notions ... to good spaces in those faraway
places... and if it rains or it snows, we'll
all be safe and warm and never grow old ...
aboard the Lightfoot Liner heading for the
Sea of Tranquillity.

who's coming up on deck to watch the sunset?

[Kasey]

I will! And as we do, the piped-in music over the ship's loudspeakers will be playing "Sundown", because it's all Gord, all the time on this ship. On Saturday, it's "Saturday Clothes" day. "All the Lovely Ladies", who have found that they "Can't Depend on Love" but are on this ship known as the Gord-Love Boat still "Keepin' on Yearnin'", will ask likely men to "Sit Down, Young Stranger", thinking they are "Something Very Special" and maybe "Someone to Believe In" because they are indulging in "That Same Old Obsession". Out on deck it's a little breezy in the "Shadows" and "Cold on the Shoulder", so they head into their cabins for a little "Romance", get "A Lesson in Love", and even a little "Morning Glory". "Now and Then", it can be "As Fine as Fine Can Be"!

(Gosh, I made it sound so inviting that I have to go now, and call my travel agent! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif See you on deck!)

come on people - let's have some involvement
here - Gord and the boys have been playing
for hours and are getting 'Restless'.

[Wingdrops]

This cruise is going nowhere fast.

Did I get on the Flying Dutchman by mistake?

What's with all this fog.
And why won't my radio work?

Don't tell me!!

Why....uh...er....it seems that we've crossed over into another period of time. That must of been the Triangle for sure. Everyone is adorned in Victorian apparel.

There's Gord over by the jib and it appears as though he's having a chat with a lovely vixen. Why, she appears to have a monogrammed scarf draped around her neck as she gavottes with our handsome troubadour.

Let me make my way over by them and see if I can make out the initials on that scarf. It looks like it might be....is it S.H....maybe M....I can't quite tell.

Does anyone else have a better view?

[Tom]

Actually the initials are MAH. Thanks, Classicmixdj, for noticing. As best it is said that its been locked deep inside of an old sea man's chest full of charts where maps are contained and what's left of the scarf is the result of the moths from several years time. I had nearly forgotten about it . . .

I was wearing the scarf myself when it first caught the eyes of the captain. I gave it to him as a keepsake to remind him of the times we strolled the decks and watched as the waves crashed over the rails on a cool evening aboard his favorite vessel. Ah, but that was so long ago.

Vixen, eh? LOL!

[Wingdrops]

MAH must be the first vixen to board a ship while it's traveling thru the Triangle. Hadn't seen her on board before. And she moved right to the front of the queue too, without taking a number. Smooth move.

I expect to be hearing "Baby Step Back" any minute now. LOL.

That was no MAH embroidered on that fine

our handsome troubadour was so taken, he
chose my name for his own sailing vessel
the Silver Heels, which has been passed
down thru his family to the present time!
SH and that troubadour have been together
in several lifetimes ... if the cruise passes
thru another Triangle, we may get back to
the 1800s. Now that was a time! LOL

[Tom]

2M2L,

You are so right . . . anything can happen while in the Triangle. Matter of fact it was while in the Triangle that a certain jealous temptress tossed me to the sharks, in hopes of attaining the attention of said captain. And although you may not have seen me before now, I have been here- in sick bay, ever since a rustic old sea dog kindly rescued me.

SH,

Oh what a wicked web we weave . . . the initials are MAH. And here I was laying blame for the damage done to the silk scarf on the moths when in fact it was you trying to alter the initials. How did you get your paws on my scarf anyway?
Never mind that-- why in blazes did you throw me overboard? I was willing to share. Haven't I always said so? Geez! You're sooooo impatient! LOL

MAH - as we head towards the Cape HORN, all
ghosts will be welcome - including you.
But now as we cruise around the Cape, we
find ourselves entering another time warp.
Oh, my Gord, who is that devastating man
at the wheel (the liner has now become a
galleon with full sails) - golden beard,
tousled curls, MAH - do you not recognise him? See those tight fitting breeches and
that shirt, third button undone ... breeze
stirring those curls ... oh ... I am quite
undone myself ...I need to take a closer look.
No, MAH - you stay there! Sheeesh - this is
MY fantasy, ok?

[Sheila Ann]

When I first heard about this cruise I knew I had to go. Decided I would ask the cruise agents if I could hire on as a cabin maid. What were my credentials? Well, let's see...I raised seven kids and...I Used To Be a Country Singer (in the shower or my car but why tell them that?!). Boy, they snapped me up right away and assigned me to exclusively take care of the cabin that belongs to someone whose intials are GML. I have strict orders to keep this cabin spotless. The occupant is a nice fella, goodlooking and not too messy. Keeps coming in while I'm cleaning to chat about his adventures out on deck. Serenades me, too. I recognize the songs and he looks so-o-o familiar.
Was hoping to spend more time socializing but I did ask for this job and am enjoying the company of this all too familiar stranger. Hope you all are enjoying the trip, too.

[Tom]

she is going to the Ball !
I got plans of my own for Prince Gord and they dont
include lil' miss Cinders, no way. LOL

[Wingdrops]

A stroll on the deck would be lovely, MAH.

Perhaps later, when we're in port, would you like to go walking by the shore, and listen to the sea?

As for the "other places," you weren't suggesting a cabin where you do what you don't confess, were you, you little minx?

I don't know how SH can think that Cinders is in the kitchen.

Mary Ann and I strolled thru there a while ago, drawn by the sound of the beans boiling a Message to the Wind. Just wanted to grab a bite to eat and a Second Cup of Coffee after our workout. As for how much exercise we got, I'm Not Sayin'.

Anyway, there was no sign of any kitchen staff because they had a Painter passing thru who had painted over all the Cobwebs and Dust and had brightened all the Shadows. Don't think I would have picked Canary Yellow, but there's no accounting for taste. I'd have prefered a bitter green myself.

But since the ship has pulled up to the Boathouse and we're checking into the Hangdog Hotel, I've asked the desk clerk if I could rent Seven Island Suite. It's been finished nicely In my Fashion, complete with 14K Gold fixtures. Aah, the lap of luxury. For a Rich Man, I'm feeling mighty Spiritual.

Sorry, folks...the boss man gave me the day off! All the commotion surrounding the painting and putting in to port, just seemed like a perfect time for me to get a break. As I was going ashore a voice softly asked me if I'd like to tag-along while he jogged. Forgive me lord (and Elizabeth!) but you bet I would. I don't jog but we rented a bike for me and I rode along while he sang Highway Songs and jogged. Spotted a canary yellow canoe just waiting for some riders so we paddled around in that for awhile. Back on dry land we ran into Jimmy Buffet so we went to lunch...cheeseburgers in paradise all around. We drank our glasses empty (iced tea for us, margarita for Jimmy!) and bid Jimmy farewell. By now it was mid-afternoon and what to do next? At a crossroads we found an auction and chuckled while we listened to the auctioneer for what seemed like hours. My partner bid on and bought a couple old records to add to Dan's collection. I was getting a little cold on the shoulder as the sun began to fade so I thanked him for the lovely day and went to my cabin. Tomorrow it's back to the pots and pans and polish and dust but...if you could read my mind you'd know that today was a beautiful day.

[Wingdrops]

That was some jog! Sixteen Miles to hidden lake with its Peaceful Waters. That fellow must sure like you a lot to spend an entire Lazy Mornin' with you! And we kept hearing "Cinders Called Me In." What was THAT all about?

But it's time to get back on board. Even though the ice is still in the river, the moon's turned the tide.

And I hear some kind of mixing sound over by Silver Heels down here where the cables softly hum. Do you think that she's cooking something up? She couldn't have been happy with all that quality time you and your "jogging" buddy have put in.

Who ever knows the Wherefore and the Why? The day was really Something Very Special.
But Much To My Surprise, when I got back on board I heard someone calling, "Hey You". It was the chief steward and he wanted to remind me of Protocol and that I was on this cruise to cook and clean. I begged him to forgive me My Unsettled Ways and he responded that he would Let It Ride this time. But if there's ever a next time I will be assigned as the personal maid to SH and She's Not the Same.
So let's get this ship back On the High Seas!
Cinders

[SilverHeels]

2M2L ... the Circle is Small when
on board and The Last Time I Saw Her, Cinders
was having trouble with some strange footwear while the Troubadourbegged 'Dont Beat Me Down' so I forgave him.
It was A Magnificent Outpouring - and as
Sundown glowed in the sky we watched together as the Shadows lengthened and I realised that he is just An Ordinary
Man. But Only Love Would Know that.
We are moving again.
Where is that Cinders - I feel like a Second
cup of coffee while you all Drink Your Glasses Empty as we head back out to sea
and more adventures. With the docks 'Fading
Away, you know Its Worth Believin

[Tom]

SH,

There is no problem with this chic named Cinders. All she's been able to do is clean out Prince Gord's ashtray . . . hense her name. I wouldn't turn my back on her, however, things could change in a blink of an eye.

2M2L,

How thrilling it would be to walk along the beach w/ you and listen to the waves crash just off shore. Then later in the evening we could explore that cabin you've been telling me all about-- The Sundown Cabin, I believe you called it ?!?!

Pay no attention to Silver Heels. She was a bit Cold on the Shoulder (and you know she gets a little older every day, particularly today) the Last Time I Saw Her. Actually, She's Not the Same ever since Cinders showed up. Broken Dreams have left her "reelin'."

BTW, the Way I Feel is that her "walk on water" comment was a bit harsh. I knew you were talking about us sharing Sundown Cabin for our NEXT port-of-call. Once we get there, she'll be trying to fit every female jogger with a pay of Nike cement slabs.

Anyway, I enjoyed our last stroll; it was Something Very Special to me. I'd Do It Again and again as often as you'd like.

Where and when would you like to meet tonite? Somewhere East of Midnight? Mama Said there be gals like you, but I never thought I'd find one. You are quite the conversationalist. I particularly enjoyed your comments about that "vision" everyone is talking about. It's interesting about the Spin, spin that everyone is putting on it.

heading for - where are we heading Cap'n CMDJ?



I do hope that my first trip is not my last but I've just fallen overboard. Seems, I had my gaze fixed upon that lovely bird standing by the man with the guitar. I was not paying attention to where we were heading. I was in such a daze. Forgive me, but can someone help out. Throw me a rope and while your at it...why not tell us all where we're headin'.

Cap'n - here - catch! You'll soon be High and Dry again. As to where we're heading
'I'd Like to Hear it from you' ... I would tell you 'If I could' but I am totally lost!
A couple of 'Drifters' have been causing
trouble in your absence but I feel a lot safer now that you're back in charge.
That guy with the 'Cold Hands from New (Jersey)York has been real mean to me. Dont know why. I think he's jealous of the Man with the guitar ...
Cap'n, you 'Take care of yourself' and get out of those wet clothes' and I'll bring you some 'Blackberry Wine' while you set the
course for Biscayne Bay - all the way
there and back again ?

Thanks for the rope "Heels". I started to think it was too late for prayin'. Well, it surely is good to see the jib taut and full of air as we head for the double B. I've got a bit of a sniffle and my ears are rather clogged but the Blackberry Wine is going down fine.

Say now, isn't ole Bill Skinners stream a feeder for Biscayne Bay? Now wouldn't it be dandy to drop anchor when we arrive and have afternoon tea (and a bit of the berry too) with cheese and crackers? Some sausage would be good also. What else is on the menu? Anyone care to go ashore? Let's take our blankets and hop on the dingy and see what fine adventure awaits us. There's sure to be music around the camp fire tonight...eh?

Cap'n ... you're as 'Fine as Fine Can be'
but with that bad cough you shouldnt be out
in the 'Early Morning Rain'. Excuse me, sir, but I can see my 'Minstrel of the Dawn' waiting for me. THis is going to be a
'Beautiful' day ... what plans do you have for this cruise next, Cap'n ...

[rainydayperson]

I'm a slight bit woosey but it appears we've again crossed another time barrier and I'm amazed at the difference. From what I can tell the time seems to be about "1970" according to the way folks are dressed. Wait...is that Frank V over by the piano. There's a mist in the air
and I can't see where we are heading. It...it looks as though our fine young handsome troubadour has strapped on a 12 string and is heading for the stage. It appears that we're in the main ballroom of the ship and everyone is gathered around. The entire corfid crew is standing and applauding. Now this...yes...this...is going to be a great show. Is the song playing called "If You Could Read My Mind"?
I think that is going to be a huge hit if I may say so. All the lovely ladies are indeed in their finery and there's a gleam in the singers eye. With some luck tonight we might have this lovely ship at our fingertips. There is a real electricity in the air and everyone is smiling. Do we have any other reports as to what is happending?

[Beautiful]

All I’m after on this voyage is romance when I reunite with my first and only true love, Gord. Our souls joined in our hometown, many years ago. We spent our early years by a worn down weathered old mill in dreamland. There was no such thing as bad times, until a falling out one day...I sent him a railroad ticket and he gambled the ticket away. Our lives took different directions and much to my surprise, the world was in his hand and his touch had turned to gold. Over the years, I was drawn to his concerts, always hiding in the shadows. I know he too felt that same old obsession as I was told by many from our hometown that he always asked “did she mention my name?” When he wrote Beautiful, I knew it was for me. I couldn’t bear attending concerts because some women would cry actually thinking it was written for them! The rose tattoo is another reminder of our broken dreams.

I have remained in the shadows on this voyage, waiting for the right moment. But there’s a woman in a scarf with the initials SH who has been hanging all over him with her cup of whiskey. Who does she think she is with her treasures of paper and tin? The perfume she wore is obviously from some little store on the down side of town. The high seas are rough now. I must go topside for some fresh air. The deck is dipping and reeling. There’s SH, seasick and hanging over the stern rail looking bitter green. Here’s my chance to do something about her...a wave broke over the railing...whew, that perfume lingered on long after she’d gone...gotta get away.

OMG !!!!.. I hope Charlene doesn't read this ALL HELL will break loose..

Poor SH, but fortunately she still had a full bottle of the finest "MALT" ( from the Highlands..lol ). and was picked up by a passing Yacht.
Last seen happily scudding before the wind, arm around the skipper ( who could that be ?? )

Not to worry, Ron, me and the skipper are
doing just fine now - safely away from that
demented 'honeyed' spirit from ages past.
The Gypsy had warned me and Gord before we set sail on this cruise. It's just another
Lazy Morning out here on the calm seas where he can enjoy his 'delicious bru' ...

Ring those bells, Cap'n. We'll be 'Waiting for you' ... maybe http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

Gee SH, I think you may be the lucky one, while you are off sailing and having a great time, the ship has docked in Toronto, well its not really Toronto, we are just to the east at a place starting with "W".

Well, SH's fine young skipper has run her up on a boulder leaving her high and dry.

Gord & I are going to steal away in the noonday sun and enjoy the skyline of Toronto. Sorry, I don't do cleaning. Now make way for the lady...

All aboard the Lightfoot Liner! We set sail today for Margaritaville. Will Buffet
be there? Will we find that lost shaker of salt? I think Justin Heyward is on the trip with us. Could it be that we are in for a Lightfoot/Moody Blues concert spectacular or could this just be in my Wildest Dreams?

Hey let's get the captain to take us to the Great Lakes! Have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock? That was Split Rock Light on Lake Superior. Then after that we can make Whitefish Bay, steam down to old Michigan, roll through Lake Huron, and see the iron boats go farther below where Lake Ontario takes in what Lake Erie can send her...then go up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe.
If anyone wants a side trip to Lake Couchiching, count me in.
