Happy Birth(70)day !!!
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! GORDONMEREDITH LIGHTFOOT ,JR ( 70)

STILL LOVE your songs & followed your career since 1977 (when I was a child.. grew up with GL music ) thanks to my Dutch father , but unfortunately never been able to attend one of your concerts.

Canada that brought us a World’s MasterCrown Troubadour –“ the work of a mature and gifted songwriter “

Thanks for timeless warm and catchy poets/ ballads and riffs you offered the mankind ears throughout decades, blessed with your beloved musicians Red Shea (lead guitar)- may rest in peace - and Rick Haynes (bass) on your side.

Yes…Blessed I am with the fact that I´m named after one of the top 100 most beautiful songs "a Precious One"ever written on the planet Earth, 2nd track on the album “Summer Side of Life” … how fortuitous !, being born 1971 ( October 13th ), the year this Masterpiece was released.

Great RESPECT for the man ! The highest civilian honour of Troubadour - icon CANADA can be proud of !!!


Have a pleasant celebration with your family and all the people you love… Keep writing and singing your songs in the years may come ! { that more people may inspired by your music }

Greatest and happiest wishes on Gordon's 70th Birthday!! :biggrin:

I know it's already getting into the latter part of the evening where he is,so his birthday's nearly done for the day but I knew I had to be here for this monumentous occaision! :)

Hard to believe he was still 64 when i signed up here and at the latter end of 62 when i bought "Songbook" and became a fan. With all that in mind :

Here's to many,many,many,many,more!! :cool:

As for Miguel's message.I simply highligted it. No sweat. ;)

Re: HAPPY 70th
 

An unexpected day off from work today (snow :biggrin:) so I spent the day driving around, exploring the area. Stopped into a Goodwill store and IYCRMM was playing on the radio. A few of us in the store, including yours truly :biggrin: were singing along :). When the song ended...the dj mentioned Gordon's 70th birthday!!!

A Goodwill happy 70th birthday to Gordon Lightfoot :)

Speaking of IYCRMM. In honor of his 70th I've just posted a cover of this song on YouTube and added it to the thread with my other videos.

Again, Happy 70th Birthday Gord! We're having a "Gord night", just finished watching Gord's Live In Reno and thought we'd post our birthday wishes. We're on our second glass of wine and on to Songbook...
