Thread Name: Gordon Lightfoot's birthday (17 November 1938)
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Gordon Lightfoot
There has been a collection of his songs released recently by North Blues / Borealis records: "Beautiful" It has been rated 34 on the radio airplay charts up from 50 the previous week. This is a marvelous birthday present to have his songs heard by many listeners. The tunes are sung by Canadian artists and it is wonderful to remember his wonderful work! I recently read on his web site that he hopes to be back to performiong again after another year of recuperation. Happy healing to you, Gordon! Hope you will be able to perform again soon! I especially hope you will be able to play for your home town audience, since you were hospitalized and did not get to play there. Sending visions of strength and vigor to cheer you.
