Given that it's the raison de etre of our city, there have been few pictures of the Mississippi River on this blog for a while. Our area has done a poor job, IMHO, of providing public access to this titan. You can get to the edge under the Arch but it's a fairly long walk from the city streets and parking. The shore is industrial for a long way to the north and south. Nothing remotely like the lake shore park system in Chicago.
Most readers have probably heard the beautiful song Old Man River from the aged Broadway musical Show Boat. The most famous performance is by Paul Robson from the movie version. His voice is incomparable but, for me, this version lacks expression. I long ago lost my interest in popular music but my favorite cover is Rod Steward and Jeff Beck's. Worth a listen. https://youtu.be/5eXRoWVaSBE

He must know somethin'
But don't say nothin'
