If you're talking "boat songs" don't forget Christian Island. Siverheels tells him how she feels!!
Sandyo, you are so right.
Christian Island is a very different sort of 'boat song',unlike EF or YC, but nevertheless still one of the best. It is so very emotive, so full of atmophere that when we listen we could be right there on the deck, swiggin' that ol' 'whiskey of the Highlands' alongside him,
feeling the sun on our skins. It is a fabulous song. Nobody writes 'boat songs'quite like Gordon Lightfoot. Sheer magic. True genius.
