Hey Wes.....

I raised my two boys..singing songs to them...
the Stones..Fairport Convention...
The Corries...Gerry Rafferty...
and picking my 12 string..to songs by a Canadian guy....
Thirty years on....my lads quote to me Lightfoot lyrics...
haha...

There is another topic ...
Favourite GL song..

I'll gie mine here...

I have in my hand ..a small book..
t'was given to me by someone I loved so dearly..
this was 1978..
a wee book..

"I wish you good spaces"...

Selection of songs by Gordon Lightfoot..
..edited by Susan Polis Schutz..
illustrations by Stephen Schutz..

The lady is long gone....but I still have the wee book....

To all Lightfoot lads and lassies...

"I wish you good spaces
in the far away places you go..
If it rains ,or it snows
may you be
safe and warm...

Graham
