I bought the TC album when I was stationed in Darmstadt, Germany in 1970. That album, along with this song, quickly become a favorite of mine. I heard "WHERE TO NOW ST. PETER" for the first time in a long time on the radio yesterday and it made me feel good. It sounded different/better somehow from what I remember. I still can't figure out what the "blue canoe" reference is about. I'm not a christian, and I probably haven't "done all one man can." Thanks for the song and the photos. Well done!

Haunting-thank you.

The image of the American flag, mutilated and half burnt, I find quite moving. To me, it represents the cost of freedom.

-
I have played this song thousands of times ....I want this played at my funeral...I am a christian
-
beautiful
-
another great song that would go with the civil war imagery is Elton's "My Father's Gun" Elton and Bernie loved the theme of the wild American west too...

I've been reading various interpretations of "Where To Now St. Peter."
I never considered that it had any other interpretation but that it's about a soldier dying in combat, and finding himself in the afterlife. Where else do you get to ask St Peter a question?
"I understand I'm on the road where all that was is gone....."

In 1972 I had a substitute teacher who played this song, and she was talking about the Viet Nam War...cute hippie chick...
