Damn!!!! I read these posts, and I see all the artists names and the comments, and it really brings back memories and feelings.
Gordon Lightfoot is, without question, one of the most talented songwriters that I have ever heard. I totally love his music. My favorite song in all my LIFE is "IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND". Don't ask why. It hurts too much.
But if I had to name a group that got me into folk music,,, it would have to be "PETER, PAUL, & MARY".
Of course, they sang many of Gordon Lightfoot's songs.
And then there is Bob Dylan. Crazy, f*&ked up mf, but GOD COULD HE SING!!!
Do you want to break my heart and see me cry? Play Judy Collins; "SEND IN THE CLOWNS".
I was blessed enough to actually see Harry Chapin in concert one night. "TAXI" I cried right there. But my favorite by him is "A BETTER PLACE TO BE".
GOD!!! How can anyone say a favorite? They are all so VERY SPECIAL for what they each did in their own way.
Peace.
Steve
