David Francey sings about Ashtabula Ohio on Lake Erie, coal port, home of March Playmate 1960 Sally Sarell. Francey's voice is warm and inviting more than I've ever heard in his live performances. The images are borrowed from actual photos of Ashtabula found online. The song is from his album "The Waking Hour". This is a labour of love, should you have claim to any of this please state it in the comments. That would be kindly appreciated.

Lyrics: Ashtabula (Ohio)
Kelli drove us down the lake On a bright Ohio day And we looked across the railway yards At the hoppers painted grey That coal train from Kentucky, man She's come a long long way Down in Ashtabula On a sunny summer's day
Walked down to the harbour Down to the harbour side Where the coal was piled up waiting High and black and wide And it's waiting for a laker, man To carry it away Down in Ashtabula On a sunny summer's day
And the tilting bridge Itself swings back And sail is given way And the cobbled streets That climb the hills Are fading red to grey
In the maritime museum So high above the waves The pictures of the past recalled In black and white and grey But the Masters and the ships are gone Long since passed away Down in Ashtabula On a sunny summers day http://www.davidfrancey.com/wakinghourinfo.html#AshtabulaLyrics

i've never been to ... i've never been to ashtabula, but i felt transported and inspired by the music. what was it like growing? up in a small harbour town? the closest thing we had to this was a tv show called the beachcombers. what was the local cafe called back then? small town cages were sometimes like town meeting halls.
I was? born in ... I was? born in Ashtabula. Song bring back memories. Great pics too.
How cool....great? ... How cool....great? song. My current hometown.
Of consuming ... Of consuming interest, the littlest birds? sing the prettiest songs, Google is a soul devouring coal eating nuclear s**tpile
Lake Erie Fishing Charters
If you ask any seasoned angler about their fishing techniques, they always seem to have a single, favorite presentation. Whether it is a professional bass fisherman with that plastic worm, or a seasoned salmon angler with that old Luhr Jensen J-Plug, everyone is guilty of being one dimensional from time to time. This is a problem that has become increasingly apparent on the waters of Lake Erie over the course of the last several years, where small walleye-sized spoons have monopolized angler's tackle boxes. These spoons surely take more than plenty of fish when the conditions are right, but many anglers seem too content on using spoons in all situations, which can lead to drastically lower catches. At certain times crankbaits and stickbaits ...
