It seems - ONLY Lightfoot can convey the entire image, feel, sights, sounds, fragrance of Autumn, feel of the leaves crunching underfoot, etc. - an entire Autumn sunset painting given life and legs by The Man, with blazing beautful leaves quite that way - unbelievable, yes- genius, but more than sheer intellect - the gift of song writing which knows no intellect as a pre-requisite - but Lightfoot's particular brand of genius has been observed many times in corfid - his powerful command of the English language as we've commented here and there,................
　
he has to be a well-read man,
Well said Steve
But Well read??
Maybe maybe not
A couple of years ago I was bitterly disapointed after I had given Gord a specially found second hand copy of one of my favourite non fiction books
"The River That God Forgot" by Richard Collier

Please see my earlier posting at:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread...t=river+forgot
This superbly written book describes the activities of the Amazon rubber barons at the beginning of the 20th century,a book that I felt would appeal to Gordon because it is largely set in Manaus, yes "Mann-owse" the Brazilian city he had visited and found "The No Hotel" in.
In the hotel the morning after I had given him the book I tried to stress that I hoped he would enjoy it but he calmly responded by saying something like
"But I don't read books"!!

Love it. Well, he must read something... Climates, or something.

He probably reads the sports pages of the local papers and laments the crappy teams we have but still loves them just the same..
just like I do.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the inspiration to write "The Wreck" came while reading about it in Macleans or Newsweek and realizing that the event was going to slip under most people's radar & disappear into local history.

So I'm sure he does read but books aren't everyone's passion and when you are busy nothing is as frustrating as trying to read a book in five minute snatches. I love to read but sometimes newspapers, magazines & internet forums are all I can manage!
