I am trying to get in contact with Mr. Lightfoot so I may get his blessing to make a video of the song at the Maitime Sailor's Cathedral in Detroit this year as it is the 30th anniversary of this tragic event.

Once again I must stress I am NOT pursuing this for any monetary gain. Being a former sailor myself the inspiration just hit me (driving through a storm) to pay tribute to my unfortunate fellow sailors.

They are not forgotten.[/B]

I hope you are able to do this. I think it would be a wonderful tribute. For the families of the people lost, I'm sure it is a wound just a fresh as it was thirty years ago.
To me it seems unreal that it has been that long since I was listening to news reports about it being lost.
It is very kind of you to honor these men.
