Original vs. Cover

[gregkl]

In honor of the late Gordon Lightfoot here's a killer cover...I mean will make a glass eye weep cover.....

That song will always be up there with one of my favorites. The only place mentioned in the song I have not visited (yet) is the Maritime Sailor's Cathedral. And I will make it during one of my business trips to Detroit. I just need to take the time instead of rushing to get back home,lol.

A pure Michigander's song!

Here is Larkin Poe's great, great, great grandfather....Larkin Poe...a teamster with the 4th Georgia Cavalry...

"Poe would not serve much longer, however. He was listed as absent without leave in November, 1863, and his name next appears on a roster of “Rebel deserters who have voluntarily taken and subscribed the Oath of Allegiance to the United States Government” sometime between December 4 and 16, 1863. He turned himself in to Union authorities in Knoxville, where after taking that oath, he was released in Hamilton County, Tennessee (Chattanooga.) Perhaps he was a secret Union man – there were plenty of them in North Georgia – who tired of serving the Confederacy, or perhaps the extreme destitution of his family forced him to choose between their needs and military service."
