The weather, the breeze and the music led to this amazing moment in #AlpenaMI on #ThunderBay this weekend.

@TomKastle version of Wreck of the #EdmundFitzgerald, Gordon Lightfoot's famous song in front of a #TallShip

Great time at the Festival of Sail Tall Ships America - Adventure and Education Under Sail in Downtown Alpena today!

"At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said
"Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril

Tom Kastle Actor/Musician was fantastic. http://TomKastle.com

Tom is a performer and sailor. He traveled the world, collecting and performing songs and stories as well as captaining sailing ships on the Great Lakes.

These days, Tom's passions are even more diverse and include theatrical projects ranging from the titular role in Henry IV to a political pundit in God Help Us! with the legendary Ed Asner; film projects like Francisco Torres’ Delight in the Mountain with Richard Riehle and Tom Wopat; and television where he hosted a short documentary that was nominated for an Emmy Award. Add in musical director and composer credits, voice overs, a role in an opera, and a series of live radio plays and you have an artist living a vivid life, indeed!
