It was quite cool to listen to Gord talk about sports, his love for Toronto teams, meeting sports heroes...he was his usual humble self and very gracious with callers that spoke with him. He talked about some of his songs and his feelings about them. He also spoke of being proud to be Canadian when the host said he WAS Canada-he represented Canada to so many people all over. The other guest, another Canadian-a former hockey player and scout for Detroit I believe said what I have said...that knowing that Gordon Lightfoot is Canadian makes me even more proud to be Canadian. Kinda cool!HIs nephew Steven called in as well to speak about Gord playing him Sundown before it was finished.
www.fan590.com has an AUDIO section where some interviews are archived. I don't know for how long or if Gord's will be there. As of now it isn't there....I'll keep checking. The show started about 15 minutes before the scheduled time of 11 p.m. and went until 1 a.m.
