Anne Murray may be on to something
 

I was at Anne Murray's website just a few minutes ago and I noticed that she has made ALL of her recordings digitally available for the first time on her website. I'm thinking that would be an excellent idea if somebody at EMP creates.. an official Gordon Lightfoot website etc etc and did the same thing thing with Gord's catalogue.

Realizing it's only been a couple of weeks since Barry H passed away, I'm not sure if Gord has somebody else in the wings to help manage things ie his sister or one his older children.

The only reason I found out about is this, is because I happened to hear one of Anne's new songs on the radio the other night at a friend's place and the distinct sound of Barry Keane's drumset seemed to be rather prominment... it's a drummer thing.

Every drummer has a unique sound and I've been listening to Barry with GL for so long it's not difficult to tell him with another artist.

PS... after some digging around.. found the credits for the Christmas CD.. sure enough Barry Keane is listed as one of 3 drummers :D

Barry has played on a few of Anne's albums over the years. He spoke about her on the FAN590 radio show the other night. He's on the DUETS album too.

GL has stated that he "owns" all of his songs now--not sure if that includes only the publishing rights or the actual recordings themselves...

Resurrecting this thread because of this video--Olivia Newton John has some nice things to say about Gord. (Audio is out of sync)
