And I was like Walter ready to welcome Elvira here myself together with a cross reference to the Elvira Madigan theme from the 60's film of that name (actually Köchel 457, the 21st of the series of piano concerti by Mr Mozart of the Wolf Gang, but I paused because I too thought it odd that a self proclaimed "long time fan" newbie having discovered this forum would have taken at least a cursory peek at the current topics and even consulted the biography section of this wonderful website. Instead he/she jumped in with both feet and asked questions whose answers would be patently obvious to any genuine fan who is reasonably curious and is just starting out exploring the extensive internet world of Gordon Lightfoot.
I therefore smelled a troll and was very pleased that both Jesse-Joe and brink stepped up and expressed their cynicisms.
If Evira is a genuine fan then IMHO it behooves him/her to reintroduce him/herself and explain his/her profile's reference to the North Pole.
And yes I do know that such a place allegedly exists in New York state as per the above link but a google search for the obvious professional internet reference produces:-
"Your search - north pole ny psychiatrist "elvira jones" - did not match any documents."
So "Elvira" now say your piece please
