OK folks I suppose I'm gonna have to eventually register....Ms. Cathy I took the liberty to look at your profile....and check out a couple of your songs.."The Leader of the Band", and, "Tears in Heaven"....TWO WORDS....GOOSE BUMPS...anyone who has not checked out her music is missing out in a MAJOR way...KUDOS to the chef Cathy http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

p.s. We have a lot of the same tastes in music just I am a loud sloppy rock/blues player who uses a Les Paul and a Marshall stack. I could NEVER do stuff like that I'd get laughed off the stage. Please take that as a SERIOUS compliment. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks for the compliments and for visiting my site. But don't knock your own talents. If we all played the same style, the music scene would quickly get very boring. I'm mainly a fingerpicker, but I would LOVE to know how to play blues lead, or any kind of lead for that matter. In fact, I found myself getting so bored with my style of playing that on an impulse a couple of weeks ago, I bought a Squier Affinity and a little Behringer tube amp, just to fool around with. The first thing I did when I got home was to put in the Reno DVD and try to keep up with Terry. Right. That didn't work out too well! I was all fingers, and none of them were doing what they were supposed to do. I've since decided to take it a song at a time, and I've nearly worn out the repeat button on my remote. Right now I'm working on the lead to Sundown, and a little bit of Wreck. I've also figured out parts of the lead on Blackberry Wine. I guess the song at a time approach probably isn't working. Okay. I'll go for learning two or three songs at a time.
The funny thing is, I grab the pick and start plunking away at lead. The next thing I know, the pick is on the coffee table and I'm fingerpicking Shadows, Don Quixote, Restless, or a number of other great songs. I guess I'll always be a fingerpicker at heart, but I sure would like to figure out a few lead riffs, just to quench my boredom and cabin fever.

Do you have any recordings you could share with us? I'd like to hear some of your so called sloppy rock/blues tunes.

It took several minutes to write this. I had the TV on VH1 Classic and Paul Simon came on and sang Late In The Evening.I couldn't resist the urge to watch.

You should listen to a couple of Lightfoot tunes from my site, like Song For A Winter's Night, or Heaven Help The Devil. There are a bunch of artists that I like, but Lightfoot is the one who inspired me to work on my fingerpicking skills.

The fart jokes were only a coarse aside. But the term "white trash" is uglier and does not belong here either. And this is getting way off the subject of a great man. Let's leave it at that, OK?

First off, why don't you register?

I don't care if the jokes were an aside or not. That doesn't change anything and surely doesn't take away the trashy nature surrounding them. Who was having fun with the white trash jokes? Not me, you were.

That's correct. White trash is an ugly word but it sure is fitting.

Watchman, you are so adversarial and unafraid of confrontation. I think that's why I love you. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

They will not be forgotten. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

I HAVE been out in the middle of a hurricane with 100 mph winds and 30 foot waves. TWICE

Between 4:30 and 5:00 PM

The Edmund Fitzgerald calls for any vessel in the Whitefish Point area regarding information about the beacon and light at Whitefish Point. They receive an answer by Woodard of the saltwater vessel Avafors. McSorley is informed that the beacon and the light are not operating.



Estimated between 5:30 and 6:00 PM

The Avafors radios the Edmund Fitzgerald:



Avafors: "Fitzgerald, this is the Avafors. I have the Whitefish light now but still am receiving no beacon. Over."



Fitzgerald: "I'm very glad to hear it."



Avafors: "The wind is really howling down here. What are the conditions where you are?"



Fitzgerald: (Unintelligible shouts heard by the Avafors.) "DON'T LET NOBODY ON DECK!"



Avafors: "What's that, Fitzgerald? Unclear. Over."



Fitzgerald: "I have a bad list, lost both radars. And am taking heavy seas over the deck. One of the worst seas I've ever been in."



Avafors: "If I'm correct, you have two radars."



Fitzgerald: "They're both gone."


Sometime before 7:00 PM
The Anderson is struck by two huge waves that put water on the ship, 35 feet above the water line. The waves hit with enough force to push the starboard lifeboat down, damaging the bottom.


7:10 PM

The Fitzgerald is still being followed by the Arthur M. Anderson. They are about 10 miles behind the Fitzgerald. The conversation between McSorley and the first mate of the Anderson:



Anderson: "Fitzgerald, this is the Anderson. Have you checked down?"



Fitzgerald: "Yes we have."



Anderson: "Fitzgerald, we are about 10 miles behind you, and gaining about 1 1/2 miles per hour. Fitzgerald, there is a target 19 miles ahead of us. So the target would be 9 miles on ahead of you."



Fitzgerald: "Well, am I going to clear?"



Anderson: "Yes. He is going to pass to the west of you."



Fitzgerald: "Well, fine."



Anderson: "By the way, Fitzgerald, how are you making out with your problem?"



Fitzgerald: "We are holding our own."



Anderson: "Okay, fine. I'll be talking to you later."



They never did speak later...The 29 men onboard the Fitzgerald will never again speak with anyone outside of the ship.
