Talk:Louisiana 1927

Sail Away
"Louisiana 1927" sounds similar to Newman's own 1972 song "Sail Away". Not a little bit; a lot.

Agreed, but not really relevant.--DoctorWorm 06:38, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

also recorded this song.

factual/spelling errors
1) The name of Plaquemines Parish is misspelled as "Plaqamines" in the first sentence of "Lyrics." I've corrected that error in the text. You're welcome. 2)  Another error in "Lyrics" is Newman's, not the author's - in the refrain, reference is made to "six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline," when there is no such community in either Saint Bernard or Plaquemines Parish. Evangeline Parish is halfway across the state, over a hundred miles away, and unlikely to have been involved in the flooding that followed the breach of the Mississippi River levee at Caernarvon during the 1927 flood. I'm just saying... loupgarous (talk) 01:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
