The Silver Thread: The California Zephyr Tribute

[OmahaTom]

Cool Video & Song! Were you in the Milwaukee Hiawatha "Skytop" observation in that one shot? I've always wanted to ride in one of those!!

[belzelga2]

now if I could only find a song for the Crescent.

RFD TV shows a lot of documentary shows on railroad[s]. I believe it is called Trains and Locomotives. I recently saw one on The California Zephyr. That is where I heard this song. Very nice indeed.

To me, riding the Zephyr is the Route 66 of the rails.

My favorite way is east to west out of Chicago.

Were did you get the music

Looks like you shot alot of video of the rear of one of the South Wewst Chief's from a Private Car (with the dome shot being from the Silver Larait). Nice splice of scenes all in all.

[gyjg6564167]

@SF3751 A good guess, however, incorrect on both.

I was one of the co-writers on this song. Glad you all like it. I also recorded the song in my studio (at the time in Burbank, CA). I'm pretty sure Ty Parr was not the vocalist, but I can't for the life of me recall who it was.

Edgar Struble

@acmmd It is a GREAT song. I'd like to say thanks for the efforts to make it happen.

[zongwriter]

@acmmd - I did the vocal. Actually had not heard the final mix until it was posted here. Thank you for writing a great song!! And- Richard Luckin, Thank you for sending me copies. The video is wonderful! -Tyana Parr

@acmmd

Apparently I was forgettable. I do love my vocal, though. And, I really loved learning the history, the passion of Richard Luckin, and the wonderful musicality of the song. Truly beautiful and unforgettable!
