Edmund Fitzgerald: The Gordon Lightfoot Tribute

Join us at the library to honor the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald with a historical performance from Mike Fornes. His tireless research and personal interaction with Lightfoot have led to accurate mannerisms, speaking patterns, clothing, and of course identical guitars used by the Canadian icon on stage. He has performed for more than a decade at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum’s annual bell-tolling ceremony for the lost souls of the Edmund Fitzgerald at Whitefish Point, Michigan.His interaction with surviving family members of the lost crewmen, and Lightfoot himself, generate many first-hand accounts of the tragedy and of how the iconic song was written.
