Your so right Guys !!
You know this is what makes Gords music so special, like a really good novel, the words of the songs create a picture in your mind, ( we all have different pictures ), and as we grow from our teens to our 50's ( gosh that was quick !! ), our own pictures are changed by our experiences, but the spirit remains. ( I hope Ed reads this ... lol )
Gordon Lightfoot is a genius !!!, his music has the ability to transport us through time and space, to anywhere we want to be, and anywhere our own experience takes us, it even has the ability to return us to our youth ( gee! I must be getting old..lol )
The good thing " SC " is that we learn from these experiences, we never loose, we just become better people, as we move forward to the next adventure, and "Lightheads" have lots of them...
Keep Smiling Everyone... Ron
