Welcome Klaus-Peter presumably from Germany judging from the @t-online.de on your email address.
If so where ?
Hi John,
such a long answer I hadn't expected ! Wow !
Thank you for all the links and hints - I'm overwhelmed.
Yes, you found out I'm from Germany. I live in a little village near Berlin in the state of Brandenburg.
First time I heard Gordon Lightfoot was nearly 30 years ago or somewhat. We could hear at this time Radio Canada International in German - and they played songs of Lightfoot.But it wasn't easy to find out more about this famous singer in the former GDR(Eastern Germany).Today I have a computer and a searching machine - so I discovered this great site.
First time I have been in Canada in 1991 (Quebec and Ontario).
Second time I crossed Canada by train from Nova Scotia to British Columbia.
Third time I have been in the Yukon and Alaska and Ontario too.
And in July I will be in Ontario and US again.
I have heard old tapes from RCI these days and I have heard Lightfoot again - the next step was going to the computer and looking for more and: here I am.
"now can I ask one question myself:-
have you any ideas on why Gordon is/was so obviously popular in Germany?"
I can't answer this question - but may be I find out, John.
You gave me a lot of work - thank you ones again.
Take care,
Klaus
