My first song for “TMJ” in the New Year is ‘Southern Cross by Crosby, Stills & Nash’. A childhood favorite, always brings me back to the early 80's and the songs mix sad loss and hopeful dreams always seem to resonate with my soul.
Heard this on the radio over the weekend for the first time in awhile. I'm not much of a seafaring guy, but this song gets me in the mood to sail the Caribbean.
While playing this: "Dad, can you turn something on other than old person country music for oldies?"
The Southern Cross is a celestial constellation by which sailors of old sailed in the southern hemisphere and in this classic by C.S.N. from the early1980s if memory serves me correct.

I lost my uncle today. He was a fisherman and loved the sea, loved sailing in a boat of any size, and fished the central coast in a vessel that seemed terrifyingly small to me. Wishing him fair winds and following seas as he sails on to his final destination.
