HERE ARE TEN NEW CLUES ! , @ 12:00 midnight. Mtn. Std.,Wed.,Feb. 18th, 2009 !

HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE - ITS A 'THEME'-LIST.

THIS TIME THE 'BROAD-BRIMMED ERA' AS ONE JOUNALIST DESCRIBED GORDON AS HAVING - AND IN A COMPLIMENTARY WAY HE SAID IT; IN THAT THEY ARE -ONLY- FROM DON QUIXOTE TO COLD ON THE SHOULDER, AND INCLUDING......GG1, STRICTLY 'RELEASED' FROM '72 - '75 = :
Don Q., ODR, SUNDOWN, COTS, GG1 - THAT'S IT -!- If in doubt - Lightfoot.ca has the year of releases that the preceeding 5 albums agree with in time span '72 - '75 per lightfoot.ca = above albums

ALL OTHER SECONDARY LABELS SUCH AS UA IN THIS TIME ARE NOT INCLUDED. THE ONLY COMPILATION IS GG1 FOR THIS TEN. REMEMBER THE GG1 LP 1ST DISC - ARE RE-RECORDED SELECT UA PERIOD - WITH HIS '74 "SOUND" AS ITS BEEN DESCRIBED. THEY ARE INCLUDED. ON THAT DOUBLE-ALBUM - 1 SONG IS FROM THE UA PERIOD, ANOTHER...IS NOT, BUT ARE PRE'72 ON BOTH GG1 SONGS. HAVE FUN !

HINT: I HAVE SELECTED SOME OF MY PERSONAL FAVOURITES THAT ARE....SECONDARY SONGS IN THE ALBUM 'EXPERIENCE' , WHICH Yuri SAID SO WELL, THE SONGS I CHOSE ARE ALSO AMONG THE MORE MELODIUS, MORE RESTFUL, BEAUTIFUL-BEAUTIFUL SONGS. THEY TEND NOT TO BE THE 'HITS', AND THEREFOR I CALL THEM 'SECONDARY SONGS' - BUT CERTAINLY OF NO LESS BEAUTY OR STATURE OF THE HITS SONGS, THERE MAY BE A HIT OR TWO, FROM SOME TIME OR ANOTHER, AND THE ...CLUE WORDS I CHOSE MAY NOT BE DEFINATIVE, FIRST THOUGHT, FIRST SONG THAT COMES TO MIND. AS WE ALL KNOW BY NOW, HE HAS RECURRING THEMES - AND CORRESPONDING WORDS THAT, AS KEFERA SAID WELL , ARE AMONG HIS LITERARY DEVICES FOR METAPHORS OR...LOST LOVE AS GHOSTS, THATS HIS LITERARY METAPHOR, AS KEFERA SAID. I WOULD ADD TO GHOSTS MY FINDING OF THE WORD 'CHAINS' IS ANOTHER RECURRING METAPOR IMO. I THINK IF ONE WORD HAD TO BE PICKED OF THE SONGS THAT DEFINES THEM, I WOULD SAY AMONG THE MOST 'BEAUTIFUL' SONGS. THATS NOT AN OBSCURE IMBEDDED HINT, ITS ONLY WHAT I CAN REDUCE TO ONE WORD THAT TIES MY CHOICES TOGETHER, SUBJECTIVE TO SAY THE LEAST. YOU COUYLD ALSO SAY OF MY CHOICES THAT MOST ARE NOT THE HITS. MAYBE ONE OR TWO PEPPERED IN THERE, FOR MY TIE THAT BINDS MY CHOICES - ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL MELODIES, AND GORD'S SINGING AS WELL, WHEN HE QUICKDRAWS THAT PERFECTLY CHOSEN TIME TO EXECUTE HIS MASTERFUL VIBRATO, AND WHEN NOT TOO, THAT SEEMS TO DEFINE THIS TIME PERIOD FOR ME.

MAJOR REQUIREMENT THIS TIME ONLY - YOU MUST COME UP WITH THE INTENDED SONG, WHICH I KNOW IS HARDER TO DO, THERE WILL BE MANY REPLIES BY ME LIKE "GOOD CHOICE, (McDUFF... ), BUT THATS NOT IT". THEN LOOK IN ANOTHER SONG FOR THOSE WORDS. THIS TIME, THEY QUITE LIKELY ARE NOT DEFINATIVE WORDS THAT DRAW YOU UNQUELY TO THAT SONG. IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT DIFFUCT REQUIREMENT, I WILL TELL YOU ONE MORE SUBSTANTIVE HINT - NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE 5 ALBUMS IN THIS TIME PERIOD - PER LIGHFOOT.CA - THE MAJOR RELEASES REMEMBER- NO FOREIGN OR OTHERWISE OBSCURE RELASES, THEY ARE THE 'MAIN20' + GG1, AND FOR TEN CLUES, THERE ARE 5 RELEASES (ALBUMS STILL IN THAT DAY) FROM EACH ALBUM/DOUBLE ALBUM.
MOREOVER -I CONVENIENTLY FOR YOU CHOSE EXACTLY TWO FROM EACH ALBUM OR DOUBLE-ALBUM AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND THE SONGS, OF MY CHOICES, I WOULD SAY 8 OR SO ARE -NOT- HIS MAJOR SONGS/HITS/ TITLE CUTS/OR MOST WELL KNOWN SONGS AT ALL - NOT NECESSARILY, THERE MAYBE 2 OR 3 THAT ARE. SO WHILE THIS SEEMS DIFFICULT TO TRY, IT IS ONLY TEN ALBUMS, AND YOU KNOW MANY SONGS TO RULE OUT BY WHAT I TOLD YOU. YOU MAY BE SURPRISED THE WORDS I CHOSE THAT WOULD FIRST MAKE YOU THINK OF ANOTHER SONG RIGHT AWAY - ....ODDS ARE...ITS NOT THAT SONG...ITS A LESSER KNOW ONE.. I DO HOPE THIS HAS BEEN OF HELP.
- Steve
