You exagerate sir!! the bottles of water in our room were only $5.95

Wayne's Lyric/Chords location is just that, a lit of songs which he's provided lyrics and chords....it isn't a listing of all Gord songs but you will find them at his site...for eg) http://www.lightfoot.ca/wbdemos.htm lists the songs from the Warner demos...if you find that he is missing any TV performances or other relevant stuff you should let him know...I don't expect his aim is to have every bootleg listed but if Gord hade played a song live then you will probably find it listed (maybe even a commentary) at the site...I've yet to stump Wayne (aka The Schwab) on an oversite...thanks for posting the list, now we just need a lyric database, hey where is stevegeo?)
OK point taken. "My" list will l when completed on Monday include everything that I know of that Gordon recorded plus a couple of songs he wrote but never recorded himself .. one of which it has been claimed he played guitar on as I previously repoerted

cheers
J
Cheers back at you
John


ps) so if we're going to be thorough and list every song written or performed by Gord, then I expect to see a vistory video for Auld Lang Syne also
Yus and the National Anthems of Canada and the States (from a FLorida football game IIRC)

if i haven't said it before, check out the If Children Had Wings video...nice photos by Tom...any others like that one where Tom of the team have used their own photos? if so I'd really like to check it/them out
very strnge I have jiust been informerd thst my mesage is tyoo short
