That wouldn't be hard. Just take some small diameter black tube and drill some air holes in it. Lay it around the bottom and put a compressor to it. Wouldn't be that hard.Pitchy wrote:Thanks Joe

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

Re: In remembrance of Edmund Fitzgerald .
The Captain or Gordon Lightfoot was a "crabby..."? I met Lightfoot in 1972 before a concert--the height of his popularity/career. Broke the waiting line to go inside the college gym to help my brother secure his ordered tickets. Lightfoot was just starting sound check and rehearsal. I sat there not ten feet from him as he went through a long medley of his entire set list - chatting with me about how"s it sound...and I gave him and his guys feedback - "need a little more treble on the guitar, your voice is a little muddled, the speakers over there sound a bit off," etc, and he took it in great humor and gratitude. He solicited my opinion several times and appeared very warm and friendly. One of my musical heroes, I was on cloud nine. My brother, the ticket gal and I were the only others in the entire gym. We listened to his full rehearsal, and returned to our place in line outside and went back in for concert #2! One of those great experiences and lifelong memories. He definitely had an off period of poor health (tales of his impending demise abounded for years) and in the middle of that time in a newpaper interview he appeared quite "tired of it all, the road grind..." and generally p***y. As a guitarist-singer myself, at one point knew maybe forty or fifty of his tunes. Ls so many lyrics, many of those somehow aren't there any more but most of the chords are still there!!Terry Murbach wrote:CAPT. ERNEST McSORLEY. WAS IN HIS HOME ONE TIME.

Hope I didn't get too off topic there...
Oh yes, IIRC he did play a great rendition of Edmund Fitzgerald to everyone's delight. The way memories of youth often are, that song like most of his is so evocative of that particularly fun period of my life--you know, that time before the real world creeps in! There's an entire BBC-hosted concert of his on You Tube the same year, just about verbatim to "my" concert.

It does get worse because parts of it are much shallower. It's assumed that the Edmond Fitzgerald struck the bottom bow first as she slid down a wave. She was almost longer than the depth of the water she went down in.ollogger wrote:Im not sure of the year any more

Lightfoot's song is a nice tribute, but what really happened on board will never be known. Suffice to say men, some good, maybe some bad, died that day. They left families and loved ones who will always wonder just what did happen.

Re: In remembrance of Edmund Fitzgerald .
Growing up in NE Ohio, I have always had a fondness for that song and was moved by it. It has always seemed personal when it mentions Cleveland.
However....... I just can't agree with the viewpoint that since there was death associated with it that the can't be any jokes. Many, many times I have read that humor can be the best treatment for dealing with death and hardship and heartache. Yes, folks died. Sorry about that. But I didn't know them and I'm not going to carry a torch and try to hush others that make a joke. Frankly I thought the mental picture of a boat sunk in the little pond was funny as heck.
Keep on, Pitchy. We know where your heart is.

Now flame away, call me thin skinned and all the rest i don`t give a darn.
I`ll add that there are tons of people that died in the military that i don`t know but where would we be without them.
If i can`t post a thread honoring someone or thing without it going off topic or jokes then there`s something wrong.

I feel bad that I may have offended you. Fred's post caught me by surprise and I thought it was funny.
Growing up on the Great Lakes has taught me an utmost respect for the power of Nature.
I could right a book on my experiences on Lake Erie, Huron and Michigan that Moth. Nat. is a real Stinker!!
Made a living racing on sailboats in my 20's. Wouldn't trade that for the world!
