A Titanic Playlist: Songs, Gospel, and a Lonely Whistle Blowing
Almost as soon as Titanic sank, people were singing about her. And they've been singing ever since.
Because this is a multicultural Titanic, let's start with a do-wop version of "My Heart Will Go On," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyiWQ3l66Nk For spine-tingling eeriness, here is Titanic's whistle itself, blown in a special event at the Union Depot, St. Paul MN, in February 1999. (That picture behind the whistles is "See You in New York," which Dorothy Gibson and company recreate in Crimes and Survivors.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7BLGibGUTA Lots more to come, here and on my YouTube channel, Sarah Smith Writer. |
