The other weird thing. The train tracks run along the river & to get on the boat you have to cross them. The Delta Queen paddlewheel is now powered by diesel, so when I was on the boat with him & was coming back to the boat I was heading to the train & the boarding a diesel all the way to New Orleans. And yes the song would keep running through my mind.
I almost forgot, my cat got sick & I was at he Vet- didn’t think of much else. sort of funny story. I met my husband when I took a cruise on the Delta Queen & moved to New Orleans in 1989. That November after he left on a cruise, his brother passed away. I contacted the company & they contacted the the boat & they put him ashore in Baton Rouge. It was dark by that time, Luckily my parents were in New Orleans for a convention, so they came up with me. As I was driving I noticed it was DARK all around- a bit scary. A few months later Bud & I had to drive to Baton Rouge for something & it was during the day. The reason it was so dark was because THERE WAS NOTHING TO SEE BETWEEN TE 2 PLACES!!, I may not be like that now. Anyway the reason the driver took them all the way to NO was because there was no place to drop them off. I still love the song.
This is the Drabbles. Anyone else would but them?
