Hi,
Welcome to the group. Any question is a good question. You're going to have quite an enjoyable journey getting to know Gordon's music. There are so many gems that are unknown to the general public. You'll be listening and a line will just blow you away. You mentioned IYCRMM, if that was Gord's only song he would be remembered for it alone. It's my favorite. But then there are so many others also. Sundown, Rainy Day People, Carefree Highway, For Loving Me, Shadows, Early Morning Rain, The Fitz. and the list goes on. You had some questions on the "Fitz", most of them can be answered on this site. The "Fitz" is just on of Gordon's songs about ships. Many of us like another song about a ship, that was based an a true incident better, "The Ballad of the Yarmouth Castle".
As for web sites,check the Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Channel on youtube, there you will find many of Gordon's songs put into video stories with production that will have you saying wow...
