Up way too early again and listened to the start of Lin Brehmer's morning show on WXRT. This being the 101st anniversary of the Titanic's maiden voyage (the ship sank April 12th), Lin Brehmer said we shouldn't worry as he knew where all the icebergs were.
He opened his show playing parts of that great Jaime Brocketts song from the late 60s-early 70s, "Ballad of the USS Titanic" with bits from movies and TV about it.
Guess I'll have to dig out the album and listen to it now. That song alone, took up one whole side. In it, Brockett gives his own theory as to why the ship hit the iceberg "and went right on down." It had to do something with 297 (ok, just listened to it, 497) and a half feet of rope, in case you're wondering.
By the way, you can go to You Tube and listen to it. Well worth a listen, especially if you've never heard it before. Watch the FULL version. All 13:30 of it.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
