The tenant association made me give it to this guy because he was an Andrea Doria survivor.. ELAINE: Andrea Doria? Isn't that the one they did the song about? JERRY: Edmund Fitzgerald. ELIANE: I love Edmund Fitzgerald's voice. JERRY: No, Gordon Lightfoot was the singer. Edmund Fitzgerald was the ship. ELAINE: I think Gordon Lightfoot was the boat. JERRY: Yeah, and it was rammed by the Cat Stevens.  And yeah, Gordon Lightfoot kicks a lot of musical ass.. |

I had the priviledge to see him perform live back in March in the southeastern United States. He still puts on a great show. |
