what a perfect tune to listen to cruising along the inland waterway's in a steamer like the Delta Queen.
bring's tear's to your eye's as It was a simple time and before all the rushing of modern society.
It's Instantly 1865 and someone is playing banjo on the front deck as the smoke is furling out the fummel's and people are mosying up and down talking or listening to the music.

too bad about the Queen. She was a beautiful ship. we rode on it many years ago from Davenport, Iowa to Prairie DuChein, Wisconsin. It was so much fun. something we will never forget.

@paulboon this is the one you probably read about. sadly she hasnt been runnin the rivers for more than 2 years. shes a floating hotel in chattanooga. she can still run if our idiots in congress would permit her. like they havent scwrewed up anything else. its the democrat jim oberstar who ruined her.

hi im rather late on this is the misissippi delta queen okay i can remember watching a documentary movie about 1970 about a mississippi river boat that was built in glassgow scotland could it be the same one i hope she his still steaming along the mississipi she is so majestic love the steam whistle too
When will she be up and running again? She is such a beautiful boat she needs to take to the Mississippi again.

What a shame. Oberstar ignored all the safety built into the DQ. Living next door to Minnesota, the state where absolutely nothing is allowed, I will make it a personal quest to make sure he looses his seat.
I do hope in times to come, another generation will get to see the Delta Queen slowly amble up the Mississippi River on a quiet summer evening, the strains of her calliope fill the night air.
