Ok, so I'll finally jump in here -- I had the pleasure of meeting Gordon Lightfoot in the early 1970s (it was either 1972 or 72) at Lincoln Center in New York . Didn't hear him perform live again till the late 80s or early 90s - at carnegie Hall --

I love his music -- all those that have been mentioned here ( yes, love EF too - the story is dear to my heart) and some others not mentioned here like Approaching Lavender, Beautiful, Song for a Winter;s night and one of my all time favorites - Affair on 8th Avenue. I have two very old and used vinyl copies of Gord's Gold and the new cd which left off Affair on 8th Avenue (much to my dissappointment) - but of course I found it on another cd release (yesss!!!)

And if you ever log onto this site, thank you Gordon for all your wonderful music over the years. you inspired me to sing, made me laugh, cry, and helped me through the ups and downs of life.

Valerie -- I will check out your website. And thanks for having it.
