Hey guys,

Before we get too sidetracked here it should be noted that this Gordon Lightfoot's daughter sharing with us her version of her Dad's very first really big song, and big it still remains from back in those very early days when he used to sing it in the coffee houses and pubs in downtown Toronto.

"Early Morning Rain" was recorded by Elvis, Bob Dylan, Ian and Sylvia and a host of others.

I've gone back and listened to this several times and it really is a very heartfelt rendition. She has her own individual style of course and she puts all she has into it.

It's significant that she chose EMR as her first big one in the fact it was her Dad's as well. Good call.

Bet her Dad is real proud to see this.

I remember when my son began playing Lightfoot tunes on the guitar and how good that made me feel.

Time now to go East of Midnight.

Cheers,

RJ.
