I can't remember the first time I heard a Gordon Lightfoot song, but it must have been "Sundown" in 1974 when Australian radio stations were playing it constantly. It reached No 4 in Australia. The...

Re: Photos from daughter's visit to "Massey Hall"

Thanks, Char. She said she walked around "several blocks" and got too cold to keep looking. Can't blame her for giving it less priority than I would have.

Re: IYCRMM heard at Australian bar 28Dec2019

Yep, I think it was that one. Today I also googled the Viola Wills version. So I've heard each of them once, and once was more than enough for a lifetime.

IYCRMM heard at Australian bar 28Dec2019

Re: Lightfoot Medley Kenny Rogers & the First Edition

Re: ROLLING STONE mag.June 11,2019

Re: Gordon mentioned on Jeopardy TV game show
