Hey Rm.

Good question.
Well what i asumed about Gordon Lightfoot was what I assumed about a lot of acts with less than 10 Top 40 hits to their credit......that if they couldn't get any more hits than that,the rest of their music must suck.
A young and pretty narrow minded way to look at music,especially given my now more open minded likes. I saw Gordon's 6 hits and thought that about him back then (1980's when I got my first Top 40 Hits Book from Billboard magazine.
What I learned? Just like books...you can't judge an album or it's artist by the cover.
(Unless it's a Britney Spears or Milli Vanilli recording. LOL! )
