Jessi- Jo !

[Jesse Joe]

CHAR: Okay, … well there ya go….that’s very sweet. And who was Jessie-Jo?

G.L.: Jessie-Jo is a name that was suggested to me.

CHAR: Oh….just a name that fit in perfectly.

G.L.: It’s all made up..it’s all made up.

These were taken from Char's wonderful interview with Gordon Lightfoot...

"My dad actually wrote this song about my best friend jesse joe. its such a cool song when i listen to it its like, "why is her song in here??" but he wrote it like, kind of as a gift.

This was a comment written by Mer Lightfoot on You Tube, for the video "Flyin Blind"...

And finally notice the thanks that is given on this Harmony CD booklet bottom left, under the song list.

I guess we finally know about this "Jessi-Jo" in this great song, 'Flyin Blind' ...

Thanks to Char, Mer, and Gord...

Don't change it. Jesse Joe is perfect. And you'll always be Jesse Joe, no matter what you change it to anyways.

Jesse Joe, I think you'd "better think twice" about changing your name..."understand and take my advice" ... and keep it.

That's so funny Patti, Kerstin & Gitch,{LOL} but thank you much. In the song Flyin Blind Jessi-Jo is a woman. But when I took the name, Cathy Cowett, Char, maybe even John Fowles, and others I cant remember right now all had a say in it. We couldn't figure out what gender was Jessi-Jo. Maybe Cathy Cowett said jessi-jo is definetly a woman. So I tried to write it to be a male.. ie: Jesse Joe.

I was gonna change it this afternoon to "Diamond Joe", which is a song I have on a bootleg CD of GL. He introduces it, "This is a song from the repetoire of Ramblin Jack Elliott. And he does a great job with it, like it was his own. Beautiful Song...

And then I remember Cathy Cowett suggesting "Uncle Toad," which I almost took at that time. Found out this afternoon it is taken there is an Uncle Toad w/one post.

Anyway with this new board, I would have to contact Florian for how to change a name. Because the way I see it, if I take a new name I would be a new member. { junior} unless moderators actually know a way how to do it ?

So to end this especially with what Patti, Kerstin, & Gitchigumee just posted I will keep it as it is.

Sorry for the mess and thanks again, you 3 great Lightheads, you really help with my decision...
