Re: Deb Brinkley - aka - brink

I've pretty much lost direct contact with the Lightheads I met online and in person from the late 90s thru the mid 00s.

Deb was one of them.

Pehaps I should raise a glass in memory.

Re: ? About Early Recordings.

Yes I think it was kind of selfish.

Back in the day I remember a comment that someone did not trig one of the clips (Pretty sure it was plumber Doug) BUT, this was never meant as some kind of a contest.

My own twisted way of remembering Gord

FRAGMATIC

Now that Gord has pressed on, today I found myself revisiting something that dates back to the 80s and 90s for me.

A celebration, of sorts, of the songs of Gordon Lightfoot.

Re: ? About Early Recordings.

Re: 1962 - Lightfoot and The Two Tones - Audio CD

While there is one track on there that I have not heard, I do wonder if it's just like someone took the recordings I already have on my computer and put them onto a CD?
