So I performed to a class of high school students as I often do (usually once a year). This year I called it a "Canadian Heritage Moment." I played some Lightfoot tunes and I interjected with explanations of who Lightfoot is and why he is important to Canada. Here is my set list this time round:

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Triangle
Early Morning Rain
If You Could Read My Mind
In My Fashion
The Canadian Railroad Trilogy

Didn't play as many as last time, and I didn't do much finger picking this time (partly because I had broken my thumb nail earlier in the day).

Do you think that that is a good set list? What should my set list be next year? What songs do you think I should play to introduce high school students to Lightfoot?
I welcome your comments.
