Have to go with DQ for sentimental reasons. It was my first Lightfoot album and was given to me as a Christmas present by the family friend who introduced a 13 year old (me) to Lightfoot's songs by singing them at the supper club where he played.

As an ironic side note, my favorite Lightfoot song at that time was Go My Way - and I never even heard Lightfoot's recording of it until several years later when I bought SSOL. Rusty said he actually wanted to get SSOL, but the record store he was at didn't have it in stock. So even though DQ wasn't Lightfoot's most recent release at the time (1975), Rusty went with it because he knew my other favrite song was Looking At the Rain.

I do love strolling down memory lane.
