A question just occurred to me. Several of my other favourite recording artists (including James Taylor, Van Morrison, Cat Stevens and Ian Anderson) have released instrumental tracks, i.e. tracks on which they did not sing. As Gord's songwriting has proven world-class re melody, instrumentation, etc, there's no doubt he could have done this too. But I can't recall hearing a Lightfoot instrumental. Do any of you know of him recording or writing one? Or if he never did, have you heard him say why not?
