Somewhat crazy,paying $15-20 a month to buy Songbook for just over $60 and wanting to buy it despite the fact that I didn't know if Gord's music would be worth it! I mean,what if I hadn't liked it?

In an almost obsession-like search,going to nearly "any" record store in Phoenix,over a period of 4 months,to buy every Lightfoot album from '66 to 1998 on vinyl.

On top of that,in getting the LP "The Way I Feel",not only did I take a 1 hour + bus trip to east Tempe but paid $18.00 & tax for it. Memory Lane records prices are pricey!

Lastly,to get "Shadows",I left work at sunset and went even farther southeast to a store called "Boookman's". This was nearly 2 hours there and 2 back. I got it alright but didn't return home until nearly 10pm!

Glad I've never had to jump through so many hoops for a GL concert ticket!
"Songbook" was also one of my 1st albums. That was really the turning point that got me interested in Gord and because a true GL fan. The 1st 2 albums were GG2 and Summertime Dream, and I only liked them because it had the WReck on it, but I got to liking more ane more songs as I went along.
