Thought I'd get a bite on this one from John.

Good to hear from you John and of course like myself we have seniority here and "Face of a Thousand People" is a song from the early era and also never came out on a recording, hence a bit more light may need to be shed so all the folks who read this will have a better clarification on the "out to lunch" (pun) if I may.

There have in the past been those in the category of "genius" who have had that label penned on them, Galileo, the founder of the science of dynamics being one.

But rather than dwell on that point of controversy we'll just point out that the complete lyric for the song is available here on this site.

On the "Home' page click on "Tour dates compiled by Wayne Francis." From there Wayne's home page is available (shows a cool house) and a click on that will link into "unreleased songs" and that will show the lyrics.

Today, "Face of a Thousand People" is my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song, and yes John it will be on the bill for the pub jam in November.

Cheers, RJ.

PS.
A wonderful conversation today with Paul Bartlett, student of Red Shea confirmed he's on board for the pub jam as our lead guitar and maybe a surprise or two in store.
