I can remember hearing The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald when I was about 6 or 7 years old and it almost brought me to tears. I didn't actually cry but I remember grieving ( if that's possible) for a long time. That song has always had an effect on me. After 2 kids and a wife (age 33) I took my family up to Whitefish Pt. to see the bell. Overlooking Lake Superior and watching the waves crash while listening to Lightfoot's haunting balllad is almost a religious experience.
Does anyone know anything about the movie?????
