Gord has presented Blue Rodeo with their award and Greg Keelor said Gordon Lightfoot is the inventor of Canadian songwriting..

Jim Cuddy thanked him for coming out of hibernation..Gord said he hasn't been hibernating!
Jim said 'well not from songwriting but from attending these sorts of events.'
He also said he thought about what direction the band should go in back in the late 80's and that Lightfoot's influence not only as a songwriter but how he conducts himself was a large factor.

When Gord was introduced the whole place stood and applauded; he stepped back, smiled and bowed. 2 piece suit, white shirt, polka dot tie (no frogs) looking good..

hopefully there will be some clips on YouTube..
