Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - Help Me Write a Lightfoot Tribute Song.......

Hello, fellow GL fans, I have been working on a Lightfoot tribute song for a few days now, and I am stuck. This is one of the "just for fun projects" I'd like to finish this summer. The finished song will be limited use public domain, meaning anyone can use the song as long as credit is given to the writers. No licensing will be required, and no money will ever change hands regarding this song. I will make no money on this project. I am doing it to show my appreciation for Mr. Lightfoot for the inspiring songs he has given me through the years. I call the song " When Lightfoot Sings (tentative title)", and you can see my lyrical start at:

If you have any ideas for a line or verse, reply to this thread, or email me at waltsongs@yahoo.com. If I use your idea/line/verse, you will be listed in the credits.
Once I feel the lyric is complete, I will attempt to compose a "Lightfoot" style song. If you are in the US or Canada, I will mail the contributors a CD of the song as well.

Thanks for your time
Walt
