Sort of like "Oh God, I want this back again so badly; and can it ever happen? Oh, if it only would. But in the end it was just part of an era that's gone, and although eras don't come back, when you take that moment of precious, and just sit there and listen to the song it seems to bring you right back there and recreates the magic. A true power hitter piece of Lightfoot material. Cheers, Ron J.

That is one beautifully written comment, and no one could have stated that feeling that I know all too well any better than you have. It feels good to know there are others with the same powerful feelings and reactions to his music. You are a truly worthy Lightfoot fan, Ron. Thanks.
