Kefera/ Gordon Lightfoot Songs !

[Jesse Joe]

PLEASE NOTE - NEW LINK TO KEFERA's YOUTUBE SITE:
http://www.youtube.com/user/KEFERA93

For those interested Kefera has 3 new channels @ You Tube, but with many different artist covers. This thread was for the Gordon Lightfoot covers only, so instead of going thru 8 pages of (dead videos) that have been removed, go to post 196 on page 8 for David Albion's new Gordon Lightfoot cover (videos) that are for now viewable !

[RM]

Oh boy......I think Kefera should go back to the drawing board and design another tattoo.

I only made it through "14K Gold". It's a tribute to Lightfoot's music that it resonates so deeply within those performing his songs that they almost look in angst when they perform them. I wonder how many brows have been furrowed in the trying.

[Nightingale]

I don't mind his tattoos but I do wish he would button his shirt....that's really bugging me...lol.

I think he did ok on Restless but his singing wasn't all that great on the rest of the songs.
Not bad on guitar though.

[Jesse Joe]

I agree he isn't the best, and his shirt is so crooked that yes he should button up. But he likes Lightfoot.

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - GORDON LIGHTFOOT; 'THE LAST TIME I SAW HER FACE'

[podunklander]

oh I wasn't even listening to the music ;)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - GORDON LIGHTFOOT; YOUR LOVE'S RETURN

[Nightingale]

I really like that song....never heard it till now.

I also had a listen to "Spin Spin" and "High and Dry"....they were really great songs, too.
Three more songs to love...that's a nice way to end the day.
Thanks Jesse Joe.

[Jesse Joe]

"Your Love's Return" is from the "Sit Down Young Stranger"/ "If You Could Read My Mind" Album.

I agree a lot with what he says in "Spin Spin". Many other's have not agreed. :redface:

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - YOUTUBE KEFERA:GORDON LIGHTFOOT; ODE TO BIG BLUE

[Jesse Joe]

He's gonna mention "Corfid" one of these days ? (lol) :) A good Lightfoot fan for sure ! :)



YouTube - YOUTUBE KEFERA; GORDON LIGHTFOOT; TATTOO

[Jesse Joe]

I sent an email to Kefera on You Tube last night, inviting him to Corfid but he got the impression that Corfid was my Site... :redface: (Mistake) Anyway he's a very nice person and did a video for me, he chose " Baby Step Back," which he posted a few hours ago...

Thanks for doing this for me so fast Kefera, but would like to state once again "CORFID" is not my Site... With apologies to Florian Bodenseher of Vienna, the real owner here. :)



YouTube - BABY STEP BACK, GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

Jesse Joe,
That's really a good idea about inviting him to Corfid. I think he appreciated the comments and likes the site even if you don't own it....lol.

I think he does a great job on the ballads. He also has a nice speaking voice. I wonder if he has ever done any voice over work professionally for television or movies....

That would be nice if he came over to say hello, he seems like a really nice and talented guy.

That's the first time I have heard "Tattoo". Beautiful song, I really enjoyed hearing it.
I agree with everything he said about Gordon and his music....he is amazing!

You know, I never used to like
"Baby Step Back" when I would hear it on the radio years ago but now I really love it...kind of weird:)

[Jesse Joe]

Go on You Tube and tell him just what you have type here and Im sure he will appreciate it. I got another email from him this morning saying he was sorry for the mistake and would correct that on his next video... Great guy, we will see if he does it or not ? :biggrin: In the meantime here's MIGUEL ! :) { MIQUEL = mistake #2}



YouTube - GORDON LIGHTFOOT, 'MIQUEL'

[Nightingale]

So, you think I shoud go to You Tube and tell him all this stuff?:)
Okay, I usually listen to your advice...lol.

I really do like many of his videos so I guess it makes sense to let him know.
I am listening to "Miguel" as I type this...very nice. His voice is really made for the ballads:)
Shoot, this song is sooo sad:(

[Nightingale]

Now I have another reason to go and say hello to Kefera...

Notice anything different?
He gave me an idea for my signature. I knew those were the lyrics that I wanted when he was singing them...perfect:)
I really love the lyrics to Tattoo...I should quote the whole song :)

[Jesse Joe]

Those are great lyrics from tatoo. Dont listen to me Anne, it was just a suggestion ! :biggrin: :)

For my signature I always did like these 2 lines, but I could choose hundreds more... :)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - DID SHE MENTION MY NAME, GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Jesse Joe]

A good sounding 12 string on that one... Great job man ! :)

[Nightingale]

Well, I did e-mail Kefera and I told him I really enjoyed his rendition of Tattoo:)

He sent me a very nice reply and said that he had stopped by corfid but couldn't register right then but would visit again and do so.
Guess who our newest member is?:)
He seems like a really nice man and I hope he will say hello sometime:)

I like your signature, Jesse. It's one I could have chosen:)
There are so many wonderful thoughts in his music that it's hard to choose just one.
I may change mine from time to time:)

Nice guitar work in "Did She Mention My Name":)
I still like the singing best on the ballads. I think I have listened to Tattoo and Your Love's Return about ten times...lol. :)

It's all good...very nice:)

[Jesse Joe]

Glad you got to reach Kefera, he will maybe mention you in one of his next GL videos... Good job Anne... :)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - THANK YOU FOR THE PROMISES, BY GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

That's such a great song...I love it:)

He did a nice job on it. He really has a lot of wonderful stuff on You Tube.
I am still thinking about a GL request...I can't make up my mind....lol.
Typical woman:)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - NOW AND THEN, BY GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

That's nice that he mentions his friends at Corfid:)

I really like this song. Again, I haven't heard it before so it's a new one for me.
I think he did a very nice job on this one...sings it with so much emotion.
I am glad he chose this one to do...it's really a beautiful song.

You know, I think Gordon must have a song for every experience and emotion that a human being can have. Everytime I think I have heard the best, another one comes along that blows me away...sigh...
It's almost difficult to listen to...so personal and it's just exactly how it feels when you know you've had enough:(

[Jesse Joe]

A poet Genius is what he is !!! :)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - ON SUSAN'S FLOOR/ GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

:)
That dog cracks me up! What a cutie...lol.

Oh, and the song turned out pretty good, too:)

[Jesse Joe]

Nightingale that one is on the "Don Quixote Album", but was not written by Gordon Lightfoot...

"ON SUSAN'S FLOOR"... written by: (Shel Silverstein & Vince Matthews) :)

[Nightingale]

Thanks Jesse...that's good to know:)

I like this song but it's not a great favorite.
Kefera must be an animal lover:)
He also features his cat, Elvis, in some of his videos...lol.
Cute cat and not at all impressed with being a You Tube star...lol. :)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - SLIDE ON OVER, BY GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

That's a great song! Never heard it before but I like it very much:)

Guitar is really good in this:) Thanks for bringing it over, Jesse Joe:)

[Jesse Joe]

Hi Anne,

You can hear Gord do this one on his 1975 Album, "Cold On The Shoulder."

http://www.kkbox.com.tw/funky/album/68716.jpg


Also on that Album is, " Fine As Fine Can Be," which he wrote for his oldest daughter Ingrid. She did post a few times here a little while back, under the name Melody ! :)

[Nightingale]

Hi Jesse Joe,

I will be hearing those tunes soon:) I am ordering Cold On The Shoulder and Salute this week. I am going to be so happy to hear all those great songs you keep telling me about.

I am also getting some Tim Buckley music..don't know who else, I will have to look around:)

Hope you are having a good week:)

[Nightingale]

Gordon's daughter posted here?
Wow...that's pretty cool.

Why did Melody stop posting? Did she just have something specific to say or just here for a while out of curiosity?

[Nightingale]

Hmmmmm....Guess I am going to have to go back and read Jesse's instructions again...lol.

Gordon's daughter posted here?
Wow...that's pretty cool.

Why did Melody stop posting? Did she just have something specific to say or just here for a while out of curiosity?

Ingrid posted warm thoughts and expressed appreciation following her mom's passing...if you search corfid for posts by Melody you will find others

char also wrote of a lovely meeting they had at a Massey intermission


thanks for the videos, I have always loved Gord's Only Love Would Know...I can now say the same for David's rendition (and nice intro)

[Nightingale]

Hi jj,

Thanks for the info on Ingrid. I will search out the posts and read them.
I very much appreciate the reply about it.

Yes, David does some amazing covers of G.L. music over on YouTube. I especially love the 'Only love would know' cover, too.
He and I have been talking about early folk music and I have learned a lot from him...very intelligent man as well as talented.

Hope all is well in your corner of the world. :)

He does an exceptional job on those Gordon Lightfoot ballads....really love to hear him sing those.

I am so glad you are back, my friend!

Thought I'd bring this over so you could see it in the A.M.

[Jesse Joe]

Thanks Nightingale, and your right Im listening to this has Im typing here in the early morning sunshine. Another great day here in eastern Canada !

Man that 12 string of his sounds very good in this one... Tuned to a perfect pitch ! :)

[Nightingale]

Yes, I love his guitar playing very much!
Thought you might like a little music while you were having your morning coffee...lol.

Yes, it's a really nice day in Indiana, too. Life is good, eh?

[DawnsMinstrel]

:confused:Yes! But Arggh, he's rendering my efforts even more unnecessary than they already are. ;) He's doing all the songs I want to do!

[Nightingale]

LOL, Tim....Don't worry. You and David have very different approaches to the music of Gordon Lightfoot, both equally good, but different.
I always look forward to either one of you doing your rendition because I love to hear how other people interpret his music.

Now, no more excuses, young man! Get to your guitar and start playing!!! :)
Your efforts are never unnecessary or unappreciated around here. :)

I second the motion :)

[Jesse Joe]

I third the motion if that's possible !!! :biggrin: :)

[Nightingale]

Well, Okay...but only cause it's you!
We wouldn't let anyone else get away with it. :)

[DawnsMinstrel]

Oh alright ;) But the next one up is going to be another original-- coming soon I hope!

[DawnsMinstrel]

Hey friends, here's the new original:


woops. I meant to put this on the other thread. Sorry Kefera. I'll move it over.

[Jesse Joe]

Here "Kefera" does 2 Paul Simon songs, and is a bit of a comedian at the top... Really made me laugh ! :biggrin: Funny guy that "Kefera"... :)

YouTube - PAUL SIMON: APRIL COME SHE WILL/BLEEKER STREET

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - Simon and Garfunkel, the concert in Central Park (6)

[Nightingale]

Wow! That's a really beautiful cover of those two songs. :)
I usually go and see what David has put up on YouTube but I missed that one.
Thanks Jesse Joe, for bringing it over.

Nice to see the original singers too. I used to love that song when I was young.
I had the album it was on and I think I wore it out...lol.

Hope all is well with you, Jesse J. :) Are you getting back to your normal routine after your long vacation?

[Jesse Joe]

No not really Nightingale !!! :biggrin:

Isn't David funny with that imitation ? :biggrin: :)

[jj]

Nice to see the original singers too


not to divert the focus from David's fine work (it goes without saying that his talent is immense, so I'm not saying anything more about it:) ) but isn't this old tune a wonderful recording and also very Early Lightfoot/TwoTonesque?

YouTube - Leaves That Are Green

ps) aint this a gem also? YouTube - I Am a Rock

[Jesse Joe]

Ah jj those two are so good that it's beyond words. Always did love Simon & Garfunkel... A gem for certain ! and he wrote a lot of those gems !!! :)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - SECOND CUP OF COFFEE, GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

YouTube - PENTANGLE; CRUEL SISTER

[Nightingale]

I wanted to share one of my favorite Kefera videos.
Of course, I love the cat in it...lol.

Pentangle had some great music and this is one great selection. I love the energy of this song and the flow of the guitar.
Hope you like it. :)

[Jesse Joe]

Really enjoyed this song Nightingale, this has to be the greatest from him yet. And that guitar playing on this one sure sounds great. It looks like a "SEAGULL" Guitar, (Made In Canada)


This one will go on my favorites at YouTube, would definitely buy one of his CD's ! :)

[Nightingale]

Seagull guitar...:) I have no idea but I like the sound of it.

I would buy one of his CD's too, Jesse. He doesn't have any so I guess we just gotta watch him at the 'Tube...lol.
Be sure and check out his Cat Steven's "Into White" video. It's really good!

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - COLD HANDS FROM NEW YORK, GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

Hey Jesse,
He did a pretty good cover of that great song, didn't he?

Yes, I would think that it is a difficult song to sing. Like lots of Gordon's songs, the melody is rather unusual and hard to stay with when you are singing it.
It is for me anyway but I can't sing so what do I know....lol.

Either way, I like Kefera's version of this very much. :)
Thanks for posting it.

[Jesse Joe]

Kefera seems to make every song he sings his own. He's got a real great voice this good man ! :)

This song is new to me.
Very nice!

I have been listening to Gordon's songs all day. Amazing man.
David did a really nice version of this. :)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - LEAVES OF GRASS, GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

Hi Patti and Jesse :)

I love Black Day In July. It really does have to be one of the most brilliant 'story' songs ever written. I love the emotion and intensity of this song...love the way it builds as the story is told.

Shoot, I would have wanted the ten albums, too...lol.

That's really funny about your nephew, Patti. He will like seeing this video...lol.
I have never heard of Vince Martin but Kefera knows so much about the early years of folk music that he sings or knows of all of them.
Very talented guy :)

Thanks, Jesse for putting these up. I was going to but you beat me to it:)
I am glad you are on top of things around here...lol. I am usually late :)

[Jesse Joe]

Better late than never Nightingale ! :biggrin: :)

I love that song even if it does make us all cry.
Well, except for "tough old Bill" LOL.

Thanks again, Jesse. Hope you have a good weekend. :)

[Jesse Joe]

Thanks Nightingale I will certainly try to have a good weekend. :)

[Nightingale]

I just got back from a hayride and I am freezing my.....toes off...lol

It's gettin' cold outside :(

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - BLACK DAY IN JULY VER.2, GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

It's too bad this song was banned from the radio when it came out. I bet a lot of people have never heard it. :(

It's so full of the stark truth of that time. Powerful and certainly gives you the visual image of anger and fear, indifference and mistrust.
Brilliant song.

[Jesse Joe]

I agree Nightingale, and it took a genius to write it. Always did love that song. :)

That's right, Jesse Joe.
You get up earlier, my Canadian friend, but I stay up later...lol.

Just as long as it gets here. :)

[Jesse Joe]

My Canadian friend I like that it sounds very cool ! :cool:

Very nice Nightingale, once again he gives an interesting story before doing the song. A great guy he is. :)

[Nightingale]

Well, I guess you must be on lunch break, eh?

I don't do mornings, Jesse Joe, but Ill take third shift if you want. :)

I love this song. Amazing! That Gordon guy is something else when it comes to writing about affairs of the heart.
I think David did a really nice job with this one. :)

The imagery this song gives me is just haunting and hollow. It's so strong in this song...such an empty feeling when you have this realization that you are haunted by the past in this way. Still looking for something to be there and it just isn't. :(

I would love to sit with Gordon and talk about his lyrics. The man is beyond belief.

Sorry for the ramble, I think I have had a little too much caffeine today...lol. :)

[Nightingale]

Hey you slacker...lol. How the heck did you sneak in ahead of me without me knowing?

Ah well, that's just the way you Canadian early shift people are. :)

Yes, interesting guy. He likes to vacuum... I wonder if he sings while cleaning? :)

[Jesse Joe]

Many Gordon Lightfoot songs takes me back in time. I guess it's from listening to his music since 1969... But of course he is a genius. ;)

[Nightingale]

I wish I could have 'known' him that long ago. I could have used some of the wisdom in his songs when I was a young Annie...lol. :)

[Jesse Joe]

Hey you slacker...lol. How the heck did you sneak in ahead of me without me knowing?

I guess this belongs here even if it wasn't written by Gordon Lightfoot.

This is such a great song. Really brilliant piece of work.
I am glad Kefera put this one up...I always love to hear it and he did a really nice version of it.

Hey Jesse, where are you now??? Sleeping or watching Matt play ball? :)

[SherylKat]

YouTube - IS THERE ANYONE HOME/GORDON LIGHTFOOT (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBwaNavDKOY)

Hi, Nightingale! How are the 'leggers? Still enjoying Fall? I hope so...

Just who is this guy Kefera - i.e., I really enjoy listening to his intros but I've never heard some of his info like GML being commissioned to write what was it, "Ghosts of Cape Horn"? I think he does a good job with his interpretation of some of GML's recurring themes, too - so, maybe HE's the one who should write the definitive GML biography! (Sorry, there were so many posts on this one that I guess I'm relying on you for a condensation!) LOL Sheryl

[Nightingale]

Hey Sheryl,
Leggers are fine except for a kitten that I took in. I pm'd you about it. :)

Kefera is David Albion. He puts up videos of all the great folk singers. Tim Buckley, Hamilton Camp, Patrick Sky, Bert Jansch, and , of course, Gordon Lightfoot is one of his favorites, too. He's very knowledgeable about that subject, so yes, he could write a book about all of those artists and more.
But, I doubt that he would...lol. It would be a good one if he did :)

Hope all is well with you and the babies. Poor working girl :( It's only the middle of the week and I bet you are ready for a day off. :)

[Jesse Joe]

Hey Jesse, where are you now??? Sleeping or watching Matt play ball? :) Nightingale

The Phillies play tonight... Rain delay, in the 6th, 2/2 tie. If The Phillies win it's World Series over for 2008.

Im sure our favorite drummer 'Barry Keane' will be watching as well. Sports fanatic & he was born in Philadelphia.

Gord will probably be viewing the game also ?? :)

[Jesse Joe]

Remember Nightingale when I told you on how I liked Kefera's intros to some songs he does ?

Well Sheryl Kat seems to agree with that.

Sheryl there are some that are very funny... He would put on a good show, if he did concerts. Great singer & story teller... :)

[SherylKat]

Yup, this guy's intros are fascinating - AND I admire anybody who can feel so comfortable in front of a camera! It's like he's just talking to you and not trying to play, "I'm the big artiste"!

And hey, I LIKE his tattoos - LOL :biggrin: Sheryl, aka SherylKat, aka "Seven Island Sheryl" :whistle: Think I'll rock out on that on going to work - wow, I have 14 minutes to get dressed today! Another day of stunning people with my beauty! Once, when I took a half an hour to forty minutes to dress, my senior partner said, "Wow, Sheryl, you look really good today!' I just said, "Yeah, well, I clean up well - I even took a shower..." (That was a day my laptop was broken so I couldn't get onto Corfid before getting dressed for work)

[Nightingale]

Oh yes, the intros are interesting and informative. He is very informed about the music that he sings and the artist he is covering.
Yes, I kind of like his tattoos, too :)
Sounds like you have getting dressed and ready for work down to an art :) LOL about the shower / /computer thing. Priorities...right?
I locked myself out of the house this morning. Still in my pj's and had to hike to the in-laws house to get a spare key. It was cold...lol.
The kitties were in the house laughing at me...the dog, loyal baby that she is, was outside freezing her tail off with me. :)

Hi Jesse :) Wouldn't that be a fun show to go to? Kefera would be half humor / comedy show and the other half music. Maybe Music Appreciation 101 mixed in there somewhere. :)

[Jesse Joe]

lol ! Im still thinking of you hiking to the neighbours house, while the pets were inside warm and laughing at you ! :biggrin:

Yes indeed Kefera would put on an interesting show. I like his laugh in some intros that he does. :)

The Watchman is such a great song. I have loved it from the first time I ever heard it.

Yes, we do sometimes forget to appreciate life until we get hit with an eye opener.

David, we appreciate all the moments of your life that you take up in singing and playing for everyone.
Your music is always a nice addition and brings a smile.

I hope your symptoms will pass as your body heals. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Really, I think this is such a great song. I think most of us can relate to that feeling of wanting to find our easy road...comforting times...down hill moments.
I love the way Gordon puts images together in his songs. He has a way of singing songs that feel like they came right out of your own heart and mind.

Great job on that one, David. Very nice cover :)

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - THE LOST CHILDREN/GORDON LIGHTFOOT

[Nightingale]

This is my first time hearing this song.
Very powerful and moving.

Thank You for singing this, David. Wonderful cover of this song, my friend. :)

I have always loved this song. :) It's one of my favorites.
Yes, it sounds good...nice cover of this song. :)

David (Kefera) is a wonderful person. I will always think about him. Here is my favorite video of him, that is not a Gordon Lightfoot song... He does laugh at the begining of this one as well.

YouTube - PENTANGLE; CRUEL SISTER

[Nightingale]

That's a great video, Jesse. :) It's one of my favorite Kefera videos also.

I love the kitty in it...lol. So funny...Cat Stevens :)

Hey Jesse Joe...where ever you are...I always think of you when I post a Kefera video in this thread. :)

You are missed, my Canadian friend. :(

THought I'd bring Kefera back up to the top...for obvious reasons.

Is Kefera his name and who is nightinggale?...the same?

We need to use GOOGLE EARTH to PLOT all the locations of these great Covers.. as well as the REAL GL current touring.

[Nightingale]

Hey John,
Kefera is David Albion, a very talented musician that has tons of stuff on YouTube.

Nightingale is me, Annie from Indiana...lol. Corfid member that brings Kefera videos over so that others can hear him. Jesse Joe, (you remember him, right?) and I would have a contest to see who could get the newest Kefera video here first.
Just one of those weird things people do...lol.

Hope that clears that up for you.

[jj]

Annie from Indiana

'IndiAnnie wants me, oh Lord, I can't go back there'...lol

I was humming and strummin that one only hours ago...RDT, ahh

we're blessed to have DA's massive portfolio of renditions shared with us...hope he is doing well, he looks grand:)

perhaps it's simpler for interested members to bookmark his youtube channel rather than link all the performances, neatly from scratch?

[Nightingale]

IndieAnnie wants me...lol :) That song brings a smile and a few memories.

Yes, the last time I had an email from David he was doing great. The chemo treatments have done their job and he is in remission and recovering from the effects of the chemo.
Soaking up the Florida sunshine and visiting with family...all good medicine that is helping him on the road to wellness.

Yes, I see your point about posting the videos. You will have to show/tell me how you post the link rather than the video itself. I have just always done it the way Jesse Joe taught me and don't know any other way.
Or...maybe I will just let the rest of you take care of it :)

[charlene]

you do it the same way except you scroll down on the page here and click on GO ADVANCED..that will open up a window. There is an MISCELLANIOUS option area to embed media.
UNCHECK it before putting the link in the Message box.
Doing that should have the link only show up. If you PREVIEW POST and then hit SUBMIT REPLY the unchecked option will check itself however and the video itself will be posted.

i think..
;)

ah, i don't know why i'd never noticed it before...there are 2 check boxes (that default to 'checked off'/embed) below the smiley faces when you create a reply or fresh thread post ie) uncheck the second box under Additional Options>Miscellaneous Options ....if one is editing they need to choose Advanced options to access it




you're right, char...i don't think my tutorial (which doesn't come close to riveling a JF101 course :) ) is any more clear but i pasted it again becuase of the last line regarding "editing" ...i'd clean up some of these but only the poster or moderator can do so

i don't know a way of making the non-embed option a user default

glad to hear David is doing well, thanks NG:)

[jj]

i missed this one going up...the man's really got it goin' on here...wonderful:headbang:

[Jesse Joe]

In this one Kefera does "Oh Linda" !

Im used to hearing it as Gordon recorded it on his 'LIGHTFOOT' Album, only his voice and Bass...


It's a great new way of listening to this Lightfoot song, Kefera style.

Great job David... :)
