After all these many years, "Early Morning Rain" (played loudly) still tugs at my soul. Also, being a Michigander, so too does, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Great talent.
Just a few words of appreciation for a still living artist.
I picked up a compilation of Gordon Lightfoot's greatest hits earlier this year and was blown away by how wonderful his whole catalog is. I grew up in the 70's with the radio on all the time, and of course remembered hearing the handful of his popular songs on the roster as a kid. I never owned any of his albums or considered myself a folk music fan, but hearing the rest of his efforts after having lived my share of life is a true source of pleasure. There really isn't a bad song among them.
So I looked him up, and sure enough he's still kicking at 84. I'm sure there are a few here who've seen him in concert back in the day or in more recent years. Would love to hear any stories or insights you may have.
Happy Listening
