Cathy, you are right. Extremely deep apologies for the comments Flickchick, glad you are here.
John, A list of the folks would be good it puts faces to some of us. Cathy we all know you and the Lightfoot Tribute band and it makes the music sweeter to hear when fans interpret his musical style but, let's do something like putting together our thoughts for his music in a poem or song (I can't sing) I have been inspired to write poetry before with his inspiration, it was not about the man himself, though, so, I will take up my pen for this effort. I challenge you all to a creative event, and perhaps BS will send them to him.
Hi Gwen. I've been trying to put my appreciation for Gord and his music into lyrics for at least the last six months. The problem is, I really, really, stink when it comes to poetry or lyric writing. It sounds okay at the time, but then I go back and read it and say, "My God! This is terrible! I've just written another bad Shania Twain song!" I really wish I had the talent and passion to write songs, and who knows, maybe some day I will be moved to do so, but I would think, with everything that's happened to me in the last two years, i.e: Dad's stroke and death, my house being demolished by a truck, my 11 year old Doberman dying, my D-15 accident, the loss of two cousins to Hodgkin's Disease, if I was going to be inspired to write songs, I'd have done so by now. I guess I'll probably have to settle for playing and singing someone else's songs. But, I'll keep trying. Who knows? Maybe I can sell one of these bad country songs to Shania Twain. Sorry in advance to any Shania Twain fans. I really don't like her music.
Cathy
