Which of Gord's "boat songs" do you like
better? My pick is the "Castle". Wlth no disrespect to "The Wreck...", I am amazed at the way Gordon gave human emotions and thoughts to an inanimate object.(Isn't that
called something in English 1A?) "Oh, Lord",
she groans "I'm burnin, won't someone understand?" Also, the vivid imagery - "Like
a toy ship on a millpond, she burned all thru
the night - and slipped beneath the waves in the mornin'". Quite a poet, a picker, a painter passing through. What's your fav?
