Slim

Did Gordon sing?

Did they chime the Bell?

[Delmonico]

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of november turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early.

The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for cleveland
And later that night when the ships bell rang
Could it be the north wind theyd been feelin?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
Twas the witch of November come stealin.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashin.
When afternoon came it was freezin rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin.
Fellas, its too rough to feed ya.
At seven p.m. a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, its been good tknow ya
The captain wired in he had water comin in
And the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say theyd have made Whitefish Bay
If theyd put fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
May have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

Lake huron rolls, superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young mans dreams;
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below lake ontario
Takes in what lake erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of november remembered.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!

wanted to post this at dinner time but had to meet the Vet......................


It was on this date in 1961 this situation comedy premiered.....starring the Palamino horse.................Mr Ed.......................Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Wilberrrrrrrrrrrrr!


Since today is Russ T birthday he get's first guess, who did the voice of the Mr Ed?



Bamboo Harvester aka

[Delmonico]

I know, but won't tell yet, it took years before he would admit it.   

[Ozark Tracker]

don't knotw about the voice, but!!!  Mr. Ed spent his final days on a Ranch over by Tahlequah, Oklahoma, they'd have him down for parades.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I know, but Mr. Google helped so I'll  . 

Slim

[Tensleep]

I knows, but he was a great cowboy who wanted to remain nameless, therefore I ain't gonna say his name.

[Delmonico]

I t'was right wasn't I Mr. Slim.

[Russ T Chambers]

As I think everyone has been waiting on me, and I think I'll agree with Sleep, I'll just say I think Balckjack did most of the dubbing.

PS. I was watching one of the Voice's movies today on the Westerns Channel.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Okay, ya'll are skipping around the answer...............Allan "Rocky" Lane...............

[Delmonico]

I t'was wrong, I thought it was Monty Hale.

Mr. Ed was a parade and show horse, named "Bamboo Harvester". He was foaled in 1949 in El Monte, California. The Mister Ed Company bought him & had been owned by the president of the California Palomino Society. His trainer was Les Hilton, who had apprenticed under Will Rogers and worked with the mules in the Francis the Talking Mule movies. Mr. Ed did many of his scenes in one take.On a television special Alan Young was interviewed and said that they used peanut butter for the horse to eat so he would move his mouth. In 1968, Mr. Ed was 19 years old and began to suffer from a variety of problems, including a broken leg. He was put quietly to sleep with no publicity. The horse which died in Oklahoma in 1979 who everyone thought was Mr. Ed, was a horse who once posed as Mr. Ed for publicity photos used by the production company. There has been a long lasting secret to when & where the real Mr. Ed died. Was it before or after 1970? It is very possible that poor old Mr. Ed's life may have ended in the Santa Clarita Valley of southern California.


according to one source

   Buck, 2 other sorces say it was Rocky Lane.....................
