"He's the one playing the haunting opening bars on The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, one of Lightfoot's few radio hits in a career exceeding 40 years."
"Ringwald has nothing but heartfelt praise for Lightfoot, whom he looked upon as a brother. He describes Lightfoot as "a down-to-earth, caring, shy type of person."
"He treated me and all the musicians in his band like family. It was unusual for musicians to be paid a full-time salary rather than paid by the job. It was the best gig a musician could have."
