Oops immediately after I had posted my reply with the "Duet's" pictures I returned to the MSN Messenger chat I was having with Maheen and realised to my chagrin that fantastic though the JAWS text reader that he and the other visually impaired fan here (Matthew Bullis) both use it cannot read the text hidden in a graphic therefore I must reproduce the great list of Duet titles and partners that Jimmy came up with as plain readable text
the double album he entitled
"Nous Vivons Ensemble-We've Got To Stay Together" (subtitled-"The Ultimate Collection Of Gordon Lightfoot Duets" and showed a manipulated picture of our Gord with the late Parti Quebecois

http://www.uni.ca/pq.html
(separatist) founder Rene Levesque
Please note that is "quebecois" as in Kay-beck-wah
and "levesque" as in lev-eck
quite why the "pepsis" (apologies to any French Canadian fans reading this) thought they could be better off as a separate nation was beyond my comprehension, As is/was their unwavering requirement for everything to be bilingual or non English language which necessitates absurdities like Aeroport-Montreal-Airport.
I am reminded that in the whole of Kaybeck one has to halt at a sign that uncompromisingly insists that you "arret" yet the French in France are apparently quite content to read "Stop".Also I was one year amazed to realise while skiing in Bulgaria (which has an entirely different (cyrillic) alphabet they are also happy to use the good old Anglo-saxon four-letter word "stop" on all their halt signs

found on a site of Bulgarian pix using google image search
Sorry I have digressed on a pet hobby horse, and my project to transcribe the track titles must wait a while
John Fowles
P.S are the separatists still active?
Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown??
