Oh yeah! They tell me that the seas in Gitche Gumee are pretty horrendous because because of narrows that the big lake tries to squeeze through.

It's still down there.

When the big lakes in Michigan get rough, there is no warning...that's what's killed so many fishermen too.

Here's a song about a boat, or a woman, take your pick. It's about a boat because that's what I named my boat: Mystery Girl after my wife, of course.

I thought the name of this song was "Mystery Girl," but apparently it "Mystery Girl" was the name of the album. It became a hit posthumously, according to wikipeedia.

Orbison had triple heart bypass surgery on January 18, 1978. On December 6, 1988, at the age of 52, he suffered a fatal heart attack while visiting his mother in the Nashville, Tennessee suburb of Hendersonville. [1] At the direction of his second wife, Barbara, Roy Orbison was interred on December 15, 1988, in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, California. His two sons and their mother, Claudette, who predeceased him, had been laid to rest at his request in the Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee.

His new album, Mystery Girl, and the single from it, "You Got It", were posthumous hits, and are generally regarded as Orbison's best work since his success of the 1960s.

ROY ORBISON lyrics - "She's A Mystery To Me"

(David Evans/Paul Hewson)

Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all buy love is gray
Where time just slips away
Without her as my guide

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven's torn to hell
Am I left to burn and burn eternally

She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cuts like switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then I just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

Haunted by her side the darkness in her eyes
But that so enslaves me
If my love is blind then I don't want to see
She's a mystery to me

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven's torn to hell
Am I left to burn and burn eternally
She's a mystery to me

She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

Sailing » Rod Stewart
(gavin sutherland, 1972)

I am sailing, I am sailing,
Home again ’cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird ’cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you, to be free.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro’ the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.

Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Thro’ the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.

We are sailing, we are sailing,
Home again ’cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh lord.
