My friend Jim Lovell (not the astronaut) was a fisherman in Kodiak at the time of the great Alaskan earthquake back in 1964.  This song is a true account of Jim's harrowing adventure as he survived the largest earthquake to hit the North American continent in our recorded history and the tidal wave that followed it.

William Wallace - (4:49) BMI

About the cover: The artwork on the cover is a stone lithography print entitled "Susan D", done by my father, Charles W. Campbell in 1980. Susan D is my sister, and I have always thought that she had the saddest eyes I had ever seen in this print.  She is much happier now.
