I can't believe this topic wasn't longer!
I can honestly say my views of music and people are different since i have the music of Gordon Lightfoot in my life. I discovered an artist can have a plethora of recordings with no hits and still make good music.
I discovered a great bunch of peope on here who love the music & artist as much as me and can't imagine liking any other artist more. (In my case "male" artist.
The biggest problem I've had id\s like others here have said. I can't get anyone to understand why I prfer this over louder music or more up to date fare. All i can say is,"His style matches who I am inside and reaches me." "Just like what you listen to reches you."
After that,if the still persist,I go on my way.
Thank you Gordon and everyone here,I wouldn't trade it for anything.
