Thread Name: Anyone sing G. Lightfoot songs?(UK)
Subject: RE: Anyone sing G. Lightfoot songs?(UK)
I sometimes, very nervously, sing Christian Island, accompanied by my partner on guitar.

I saw Gordon Lightfoot for the first time at Philmore East in New York in 1970. I was a nanny in New York and one of the other girls had been given a tape recorder for her room, with nothing but his tapes. We hated them at first but then "If you could read my mind" was being played every five minutes on the radio and he was rather dishy in real life so we thought he wasn't so bad.

We saw him a couple of times at the Royal Albert Hall in around '72 but not since.

I will start singing Pussy Willow Cats' Tails, I'll be Alright, That's What You Get for Loving Me as they are such great tunes.
