Thanks, Charlene, for sharing the information about how you voted.

Given that GL's "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" did not make the list of the moderator of this great Lightfoot forum, it seems unlikely that "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" will make the "Top 40" of AM 740's "Zoomer 300" list!

In addition to the four GL tracks, I voted for the following six songs:

All Shook Up - Elvis Presley
Garden Party - Rick Nelson
In the Mood - Glenn Miller
Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel
Penny Lane - Beatles
Piano Man - Billy Joel

I am very interested to learn about how others voted.

Also, I continue to encourage Lightfoot fans to vote in AM 740's poll and let their voices be heard. (If the Lightfoot songs do well in the poll, AM 740's program managers may be more inclined to continue to play Lightfoot's songs quite frequently.) For those of you who are not familiar with AM 740, the station airs many different Lightfoot tracks and also regularly plays several different cover versions of Lightfoot's songs.
