This November marks the 50^th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and I am a huge fan of Gordon Lightfoot's music, including his The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. There’s a line in the song: "Superior sings in the rooms of her ice-water mansion" from which I took the title of this dance.
