Growing up in the 70's Lightfoot was my idol.I play folk music and probably have 20 or so of his songs in my repertoire. I sort of lost track of him after "Shadows". I recently got the "Gord's Gold II" cd. I don't mean to be rude, but, what happened to his voice ??, the utra warm quality of his voice seems to have disappeared. Also, the new arrangements seem all the same. I really wish he had not re-recorded "Pony Man", the original is a favorite of mine, the new version is really mediocre. Don't get me wrong, he's still the best writer ever. Did he suffer some sort of vocal chord illness ??, just wondering
