James, I can't thank you enough for this!

I remember that show so very well from when it was first aired. The technology to video tape it from the TV had not yet arrived in that day so I just made an audio tape recording of it and still have it in my Gord collection.

I remember seeing it advertised in the TV guide magazine and started counting off the hours and minutes till it came on.

I was already sold on the music of Gordon Lightfoot at that time so needless to say I was in seventh heaven watching this show.

After listening to Gord talk so meaningful about the country where he grew up and all it's surrounding beauty I was so inspired to travel up that way still go there when the opportunity arises. It truly gives me a wonderful feeling driving there and listening to all those great tunes in the car,; "Sixteen Miles,The Long River," all that early stuff. Just takes me into another world totally.

And I'm goin' again real soon. November is Gordon Lightfoot month this year!
