Lightfoot's Contact Info

[jess_lw]

This may sound crazy, but my best buddy Steve is a songwriter...very modest...and he wrote, composed, and recorded (for kicks) an awesome song that sounds JUST LIKE Gordon! He did not plan it that way, but it could pass for GL to even his biggest fans! Anyway...I want to email or post the song for GL to hear just for fun!!! Anyone know how to email or post to him?

Thanks
Jessica

Of course you can try but you might want to watch the following clip--just one of the realities of the music business:

Around the 3:10 mark Lightfoot says:

"The stuff you get in the mail is awful--you get about fifty tapes a year, more than that...
I have people sending me songs and they also include the name of their lawyer and everything. (They say) 'If you want to record
my song call my lawyer.' If you get a song, its so wonderful, with 'call my lawyer' don't you do it!"

[Paul Farnham]

Thanks for the link NS. Fascinating! Geez, wouldn't need a lawyer in my case. I'd be over the moon if he STOLE one of mine :D
