Well if you did not hear it before than me posting it here makes it worth my effort.

Now I just saw "My Love For You" @ The Genies on your YT page. And that Awards show I did miss. You are a pro making me look like a real amateur... :biggrin:

You are a pro making me look like a real amateur...

I hear ya Jesse Joe........jj has a knack for that. Hopefully, someday he'll share some of his musical work, and then we can tactfully tear it apart.

Lust kiddin'......he truly is a pro.

appreciate the flattery (any talent perceived is all a grand illusion) about the videos, as for the music:

well, as Gord says, lets quit while were ahead, lol


this is one of my fave clips...during that WFY era which i think is under rated

YouTube- ktla

the guy on Gords right is totally stoked (and so he should be)

...you can hear Rick adding subtle bass, off camera...a nice touch

[Jesse Joe]

This is a first for me really "AWESOME" ! Man those fingernails makes for some great guitar picks. LIGHTFOOT on USA TV... He looked great & healthy. What I would give to see him on CNN Larry King Live. :clap:

Keep them coming jj. :)



From Wayne's Site:
LOS ANGELES MORNING SHOW - KTLA - 1993
Lightfoot does an interview and a song for an estimated 1.5 million viewers. The song was the new single of the day, I'll Prove My Love, with Rick Haynes playing bass off-camera.

I bought that very movie at Ebay last year for $1 (plus tx,shipping).

Great to own that and to hear that song. The re-working of "Wherefore & Why" is odd but nice.
