Edmund Fitzgerald: a lyrical tragedy

Twenty-nine people were lost along with the huge cargo ship, and the tragedy was immortalized in a song by Gordon Lightfoot.

The haunting lyrics are perfect for the days leading up to Hallowe'en. Here's one stanza:

The wind in the wires made a tattletale sound

And a wave broke over the railing

And every man knew, as the Captain did, too,

T'was the witch of November come stealing.

p.s. Get ready for a rough night -- that storm is headed for Baltimore.
