do you ever hear a Gord song, and as you listen to it, you think of a certain member on here?

"No Mistake about It" reminds me of Member# 366.

"Rainbow Trout" reminds me of Sheryl.

"The Watchman's Gone" reminds me of,... you guessed it. Watchman! (Although it doesn't "feel so good, knowin the Watchman's gone' :( )

'Georgia on my mind' isn't a Gord song but it sure reminds me of you, James. :D

Have I lost my way?!

Sheryl - I dont think I know that Gord song ... ;)

no, but your 'swimmin upstream in the world.' :)

LOLOL!!!
i gotta get a DEPENDS!
lolol

Duh I think sheryl was possibly quoting from the lyrics
"Swimming upstream in the world
And she said "Please, please, I've lost my way
The current is too strong
Then she gave one flip of the rainbow tip of her tail
And she swam back down "

Sir John,
I was joking! You know, being ironic ... as we Brits tend to be sometimes.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
lol

Nice one Bru you really got me there!!
but did you win the noughts and crosses yet??

Er Um
You possibly have not picked up on the fact that Bru as well as wearing 6 inch heels is a dizzy blonde, so as well as having
more fun, she is liable to make strangely incomprehensible comments.In this case before she revealed that her question on
the apparent song entited "Have I lost my way?!" was couched in "ironic" terms I mistakenly took it at its face value as yet
another blonde aberation and showed another such example of how a blond might have trouble playing noughts and crosses/tic

Flyin Blind from Harmony reminds me of me Jessi-Joe.(LOL) Just Kidding!!!

Jessi Joe, if you think Sir John aimed an insult at you, just read the above post about blondes. He does it to me all the time. He means no harm -
it's his wierd Brit humour. But having said that, I may have to slap him when I next see him.
;)

Oh ... wait on ... he might enjoy that ... ;) ;)

Hey John,that's my favorite "Simpsons;Tree House Of Horror" segment! :) I love it when Homer and Bart become 3-D and that Tron like universe is a trip too! :D

Let's see "Don Quixote" for you John because you're British and Knights are British/English.

Sheryl,I agree on "Rainbow Trout" becauae sometimes your compliments put color in my face. :)

Brink would be "The House You Live In" because I think she lives by those ideas. ;)

I'll try to think of more! :cool:

Thanks B! I like that song and consider that a great compliment. ;)

You hit the nail on the head with that one B. Nice job.

Don't have a clue as to why,but everytime I here "Through the woodland through the valley", I think of Brink!!!

Why, Iron, that's one of Brink's fav songs, didn't cha know?

Yes, I can see The House You Live In relating to Brink. She's a wonderful person and it fits perfectly.

On a personal level, Changes reminds me of my first real love.

Alberta Bound would be me, as though I lived in the Toronto area for 35 years, I never really cared for it. But I LOVE the west, and it always felt like home to me even though I was always a visitor and never a resident.

And how many of us here at Corfid, though not nearly as famous as Gord, will relate to A Painter Passing Through when we hit the 60s years?

For me "Rainy Day People" would apply to a lot people who post here.

Another excellent observation, Char!

The song Christian Island, "I called her Silverheels, and she tells me how she feels.

Reminds me a bit of our Bru aka Silverheels...

You couldnt have paid me a bigger compliment, Jessi-Joe.
Thank you.
:)

"(H)ome(r) From The Forest"
kinda reminds me of Jessie-Joe for a reason that he knows

Hello to you Bru, If you feel I paid you a big compliment, good and your quite welcome. :D :) :rolleyes: :eek:

Hello to Sir John, my friend. Yes I do know what you mean by Home(R) from the forest. But the rest of that wonderful GL song, ain't to off either. ("His eyes were red his hopes were dead) and the wine is a running low, for the old man came home from the forest." That great song could apply to so many homeless in this world, that it is almost another masterpiece, for GL. Im not home less nor a wino. But you never know how you gone a end up in this life. My hopes have been dead, many times. Thanks Sir John. Your a good man... :) :rolleyes: :D :confused:

Hey, here's a quiz! How many corfidians are named after song titles? Who can make a list? :confused:

There are songs I hear that cause me to think of certain folks here at Corfid. Not because the lyrics necessarily remind me of them, but because of times shared or things I've witnessed surrounding them, that involve certain Lightfoot songs.

For instance, when I hear "Same Old Loverman" I think of Sir John and Susan. At one of the Saratoga Springs gatherings, John and Susan asked Ed to play this song during a Sunday afternoon jam session in the atrium of The Downtowner Motel. Ed did a marvelous job of it and the rest of the players just sat back and took in the beauty of listening to Ed and watching John and Susan dance. It was a very touching moment and I didn't know until long after the fact, why that song is so special to John and Susan. Now when I hear it, I think of them and see them dancing in my mind's eye.

Song For A Winter's Night reminds me of Cathy. During a different Saratoga Springs gathering, Cathy, Derek, Val, Melissa, Kim and I had a jam session late one night in Derek's room (ok, Cathy, Derek and Melissa jammed and Kim, Val and I listened). It was snowing outside and Derek's window overlooked the empty street with a lamp post reflecting the quiet beauty of the snowflakes tumbling down. As the last song of the night, Cathy played SFAWN and we turned out the lights in the room and watched the snow falling outside the window as she sang (and Melissa played the belt buckle since we didn't have any sleigh bells that trip - hey, you make do with what you have and it sounded pretty good, considering). I video taped this jam session and focussed the camera out the window during this song. It made for a perfect end to a fun night and the perfect end to the video.

Beautiful reminds me of Char. When I first met Char, this was her special song. Over the years, it's become not as special to her as it once was - or maybe it's just special for different reasons, now. But it still reminds me of her because she is such a beautiful person - she has a kindness and spirit that is unparalleled.

Like others have mentioned, Christian Island reminds me of Bru. Mainly because it is her healing song - the song that chases away all bad things in life, even if it's just for a few moments while listening to it. Because of *her* strength of conviction, I can almost believe that when I listen to it as well.

I'll Tag Along makes me think of Alan. Alan doesn't post here that often anymore. When I visited he and his family in England a few years ago, he took me on several day trips touring the Northern England country side. During our trips, he played a Lightfoot compilation tape that included this song. I really wasn't all that familiar with it since I don't have the East Of Midnight CD, but I came to love this song and it quickly became one of my top five favorites. The funny thing is that Alan and I both found ourselves humming I'll Tag Along as we walked around villages, old churches and castles. I'm not sure if it was irony or if it was just the last song we heard before getting out of the car, but needless to say, "I'll Tag Along" with Alan anywhere and think of him anytime I hear that song.

Stationmaster, there are 84 members (both active and non-active) whose screen names are based on a song title or commonly recognizable lyric. I can list them if you really want me to, but that would be a long list :)

Janice,
What wonderful stories. Vivid memories for you and how nice of you to share them with us. Thank you.

Next time I see Melissa I will have to ask her how to play the belt buckle, that might be an instrument that even I can learn to play!

ah yes - the belt buckle...a much maligned musical instrument......lol

By show time Melissa had some bells tho!!..... ;)

Having a little too much 'real' life this past week or so I haven't thought too hard about this topic...

I'll give it some thought..Janice is right on about Sir John and Susan and Bru...

Beautiful is special now because of the memories of the May 2001 jam session at the Delta Chelsea and the surprise playing of it for me that made me cry and then here again at the Charbeque on that beautiful May day almost 6 years ago.

It has a special and new meaning to me now and that's what's important. I look at all of my Lighthead friends as Beautiful gifts to my life.

I'lll have to think on this when things settle down a bit...maybe get out the photo album with all the memories....

"Now and Then" reminds me of formerlavender. It's one of her favorite Gord songs and, I must proudly say, the imagery in this particular song paints a picture almost as moving and beautiful as the admirer herself.

Well said jbt ! How have you been ?

Bill :)

Hi jbt, it's nice to hear from you again!!

Haven't heard from him since March or so, but only The Rez could be the Minstrel of the Dawn.
DQ

A Tree Too Weak to Stand reminds me of jbt, and Second Cup of Coffee reminds me of Billw.

I guess there's nothing on the schedule for the Keswick so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

I still have that belt that was used for SFAWN.
LOLs,
Kimberly

:( None for me huh? *sniff*!! Just Borderstone? :confused:

:D S'allright! ;)

Just kidding!

hmmm Borderbuddy.....I think the Pony Man fits.

thanks sheryl and billw, i've been well. i'm staying busy and agree with formerlylavender, i'd love another keswick show!
a friend asked me the other day which gord song is my favorite, and i honestly couldn't answer. i told him that, for me, there's a certain song for a certain mood or emotion or time of year for that matter. although my answer was honest, not being a gord fan i don't think he understood what i meant. all that said, a tree too weak to stand is def. one of my favorites.
i love this topic

jbt

jbt,

The Keswick looks dim, at least for 2006. You and your sister should consider the show at Wolf Trap in VA, you might have to stay overnight but it's really not that far. And there's a nice person here on corfid that may be able to come up with some really nice tickets... Plus it's a great Summertime venue, check it out online:
