2.9 This listing does not include a few very significant unreleased songs on the bootleg of the 1974 Massey Hall concerts
plus we now know there should be 11 out of 18 demos Gord made before his illness on the eagerly awaited Twentieth album
That is all I have time for today
But after further consultation at Wayne's "unreleased" page http://www.lightfoot.ca/unreleas.htm
which I know includes some of the songs on 2.9 above
So after I find more time I'll be back with a further list of other known unreleased recordings (Well ones that are known to me anyway)
plus other things like the US and Canadian National Anthems

few other items I happen to know about
