since the last time I was here. Just finnished watching his 'Live In Reno" DVD and I felt compelled to post again.
Was going on a road trip (picked up a van in Vancouver and driving it back to Edmonton) when I had asked "which GL cd would be the one to get for a first time listener" and most of the responces were directed towards his "Complete Greatest Hits" and thus it's the one I had bought and taken along with me.
Some had 'cautioned' me saying "watch out, this'll get you hooked" and boy did it ever, just sucked me right in and I couldn't be happier that it did! My only regret was not to getting involved alot sooner then I did, missed alot of good listening time. My 5 year old son 'insists' on Gordon Lightfoot and/or Loreena McKennitt for our road trips around town and believe me, I'm not complaining!
I have always been interested in playing the guitar but like it always seems to be I never had the time or this or that came up but listening to Mr.Lightfoot changed all that. I'll never amount to a great player or maybe not even a good player as I don't have the nack (timing, cordnation etc.) for playing guitar but if I can learn to at the very least play Early Morning Rain before I die it'll have made the cause worth it. ;)
Thanks to all of you who answered my (long ago!) post and I'll be lurking!
May Gord win the fight (he is!!) and continue to do what it is he does.
