Thanks for posting this. Short and sweet article. I always like it when Gordon mentions the folk music revival. There was also a great revival of folk music in the early-mid 90's...with the likes of the Indigo Girls and Tracy Chapman, etc. Now I look at the names listed for the Newport Folk Fest and barely recognize any.

Very interesting interview, thanks for posting this Hershey102. But at the very end it goes,>>>>>>"Musicians who have recorded his songs include Johnny Cash; Bob Dylan; Peter, Paul & Mary; Barbra Streisand; Glen Campbell; Olivia Newton-John; Sarah McLachlan; and Nanci Griffith."

They should have included "Elvis & many many more too numerous to mention." :)

I live in West Central Illinois and would love to go to this concert but it would be an overnighter because I live so far from Peoria and I have other obligations in the middle of the week. If it were a weekend I would be there! I've never been to one of his concerts.

That's too bad GJA, I hope you get to a Gordon Lightfoot concert sometimes in the future.

All the best of luck ! :)
