Ok Gordos and Gordettes, what is your favorite Lightfoot sound mix. By that I mean do you like the music "bare bones" with guitars, bass and drums or do you prefer the more elaborate productions such as in 'East of Midnight' with elaborate soundscapes. What would be your ultimate Lightfoot band. Red Shea or Terry, or both? Rick Haynes or John Stockfish? Pee Wee or Mike Heffernan? Barry Keene or say Ken Buttrey or the incarcerated Jim Gordon? Add Daniel Lanois or David Foster or the multitude of other musicians who have contributed to our favorite albums. Tour with violins (string section)? Banjo? Any musicians that Gord has not played with that would compliment Gord's sound?
So, it is wide open. Leave things as they have evolved or tweek the sound?
We all love Gord so this is not an attempt to second guess his creative choices, only an exercise in having some fun.
