Default Re: Lightfoot Tribute Show

would like to hear your stuff, Gerry K....go over to the Covers section and create a thread for yourself

Jory Nash's (.com) website will have full Contact info

as char said, the great thing for many of the artists is that they can further promote themselves by doing a few 'self-styled' arrangements of Gord tunes and have their portfolio of CD's available to the Hugh's Room crowd...most have between 4 and 10 CDs out there...I believe the founder of www.lightfoot.ca and the newgroup, Wayne Francis now has 3 CDs out ...I'd like to hear him play at Hugh's one day, however his is more of a songwriter than a performer

true, John...those jams, Lightfoot themed nights have been going on as long as Gord's been playing Massey (the 60's, lol)...i remember those open mic nights as a teenager where there would be pub theme nights and it seemed that the house band would be hard to stump when it came to 'Gord theme' night (tribute, celebration, etc)...I've heard it said, a good rule of thumb for a performer is that 'if you're not sure what to play next, play a Lightfoot song'

good luck, Gerry!
