Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald?

....*sigh*....and nobody has yet to mention that great late night classic that the dj could not only hit the toilet but pop outside for some...'fresh aire'... ;)

Ragged?  Yes.  But one of those late '60s' things that disappeared into the fog 'n mist that invades the brain and pops up...

...and makes you smile...

....and thankful that we don’t have to resort to ’rope’ theze daze.....😏👍

"....a mania that seemed like Brockett was going to jump right off the grooves and into a straitjacket." seems 'bout right...*L* 

Procol Harum-wreck of the Hesperus

James McMurtry has many great stories inside of many good songs. One that comes to mind tonight is “Carlos and Ruby“, wow.

Mrs. McGrath, an Irish folk song set during the Peninsular War of the early 19th century. The song tells the story of a woman whose son enters the British Army and returns seven years later having lost his legs to a cannonball while fighting against Napoleon presumably at the Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro (fought between 3 and 5 May 1811). The general theme of the song is one of opposition to war.

I especially enjoy Springsteen's version because with his voice and the overall tone he imparts on the song is quite moving.
