love the style of this track, wonderful sound and a very warm vocals section. Great guitarsound, a very good production.

listened and experienced. The main intent of this track,, in my estimation,, is the story that is told. It's cool to have a song rendition of that event . We're glad you survived LOLO.

I still think you sound quite like Gordon Lightfoot both in style & voice. Another well-done song of yours. Good harmonies.

My Lakota friend refers to "passing away" as "making the journey". Obviously this not what this song is about.
John, I like these kinds of sea-based folk songs. As always, very nice job on the vocals (solo and harmony). This has a very "live" feel to it, and reminds me a bit of something someone like Gordon Lightfood might do. Very cool song, and well done overall.
I do think the instruments could be mixed a bit better. (The bass sounds a bit thick, and the guitars are just a shade too far back in the mix -- especially that 12-string (at least it sounds like a 12-string to my ears). However , it is a pretty sparse song, instrumentally, which does work to focus the listeners on the lyrics. So, it's an acceptable tradeoff, perhaps, at least on this song. Still, I like this one a lot.
John -- have a great 2008. I look forward to hearning many new songs from you in this new year.
