I remember the first Gordon Lightfoot song I ever heard..."The Wreck of the Edmund Fitgerald" in the Fall of 1976. I hated that song!! I remember it got tons of airplay in the Detroit area. I was only about 15 yrs old & I wanted to hear rock and roll songs, not some slow song that seemed to last forever!!
Of coarse, later on in life (1982) I became a big Lightfoot fan!
