Thank you folks for such a kind welcome.

I heard Gordon Lightfoot music at least 40 years ago as well but it never really caught on with me for some reason. I was more of a rock guy back then but now I can see that Gordon has fine lyrics to go with his wonderful songs. When I listened to rock I never had a clue what they were saying and didn't care. I liked the beat and the electric guitar. Gordon's music actually captures moods or emotions or something like that it seems. He really has a nack for it. I was never into that when I was younger (in early fifties now).

Thank you for your kind words.
