Frank,

I just saw Guy Clark a week ago in a show with Rodney Crowell and Nanci Griffith. I was familiar with Guy's name from songwriting credits and liner notes of Jimmy Buffett and Jerry Jeff Walker albums but had never heard him perform (live or otherwise). I went to the show because of Rodney Crowell (you should definitely add him to your list of great singer/songwriters. His style is very much like Guy Clark's, as a matter of fact they have collaborated on several songs!). At first I would have liked a solo Rodney show but I was so pleased that Guy and Nanci were there. It was a show to remember! (a little GL connection here, a while back, Nanci Griffith did a cover of
"10 Degrees & Getting Colder"). The Rodney Crowell board I participate with introduced me to John Prine...wonderful (have you heard his recent cover album of duets? If you like country classics, as I do, it is awesome).

Sorry to jump in here, I know your post was directed to Florian - but this was finally a topic that I knew something about

While I love Gordon Lightfoot songs, I didn't know much about him otherwise until I found this site...so I don't feel really knowledgeable enough to contribute to many of the other threads.

lol...Florian, you really should add a spell check feature for Rob and myself
