Talk:Wasn't That a Mighty Storm

This song was recorded under the title "Mighty Day" by Bob Gibson on his offbeat folk song album in 1956 and performed by Gibson at the Newport Folk Festival (not sure of year). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ynCeWH2qRA Please consider incorporating this in article. Gibson is best known for having brought a young, and at the time unknown, Joan Baez to sing with him at Newport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.43.245.244 (talk) 13:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't know when Eric Von Schmidt dug up the song, but the Chad Mitchell Trio recorded a version of the song under the title "A Mighty Day." It appeared in their 1961 album "Mighty Day on Campus."

No Seawall
The original line before 1915 could easily have been "Now Galveston had no seawall", which actually makes better sense with the next lines:

Now Galveston had no seawall To keep the water down, And a high tide from the ocean Spread the water all over the town.

Is there any evidence for this? Bn (talk) 23:44, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
