When I was fourteen my dad took me to see Gordon Lightfoot. The encore was The Canadian Railroad Trilogy. When I was in college I was on an exchange program and went to a lot of London folk clubs and was floored by Nic Jones singing Annachie Gordon. I also recall being spellbound by the 13 minute version of Calvary Cross that Richard and Linda Thompson performed at the Theatre Royal in November of 1975. Also, hearing Vin Garbutt singing Cissy Lee (I may have the title incorrect) brought tears to my eyes.
