I'd probably leave out the final two. Even though I've purchased them and would purchase anything else he records...I feel they are his weaker productions due to lack of full voice. Some of the more recent material sounds as though it should have had more takes to get the voice right.

I'd like to see whoever makes the final mix decisions on Mr. Lightfoots music to put more emphasis on his voice. I prefer to hear Gord and what he is singing with more clarity.

I'm wondering if a temporary break from touring would help out his voice any.

Forgive me if I've brought up a touchy subject with my reply, Frank. I want to see the best for Gord and even wonder if a temporary (and I emphasize temporary) break from touring would help his voice any. I realize that past vices have taken their toll but I hope for the best.
