It was '70 i believe - CHUM radio was playing it - If You Could Read My Mind - wow it was saying what I was feeling!! I was 15 and having boyfriend trouble. I fell in love with Gordon Lightfoot that day in my bedroom crying over a boy.
Been crazy about Gord ever since - dumped the boy!
I got special permission to go to Gord's concert in March '84 - I was 9 months pregnant and stood the whole time but that baby got indoctrinated that night. He's almost 16 and loves KORN and that stuff - he puts up with my obsession though. I loved Kris way back then too. When Rita and Kris were at Massey Hall one time Gord got on stage (a bit looped back then) and sang Bobby Magee with them. I got The Austin Sessions (Kris) for Xmas. He makes me weep.
Anyway it's nice to remember - I have so many "senior moments" about other things - not this stuff though. These are 14K gold.
