Fil talks about Wreck

I just came across a recent YouTube reaction video talking about the Soundstage performance of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

I was getting a little annoyed with Fil's analysis early on...

Re: Tony Rice

It's rather ironic, because I recently decided I needed to fill some gaps in my already-extensive collection of GL covers. I knew that Tony had done more than had been collected on that one album,...

Re: Me and Bobby McGee

I don't know if it was the regional accent or what, but Gord has had a few "alternate pronunciations" over the years. Not sure if it was choice, habit or what. I'm sure I'm not the only one that,...

Re: Youtube reactors

Yeah, they said what they thought from their perspective, I won't knock them for that. My take was said above, "Wreck" is a song they should not have even bothered with. I still remember the first...

Re: Youtube reactors

I guess not all reactions are created equal. Did you catch this one? These are two people who probably should not have bothered with "Wreck". Even though this is a vid that has two reactions in it,...

Re: Youtube reactors

I've thought about creating a post about this trend of YT reaction videos.

Re: Favourite Song on "Solo" Album

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who glommed onto "Do You Walk , Do You Talk" as the one that most caught my ear from this set. I'm not sure if I'd call it the best song of the bunch, but I...

Re: NEW BOOK!-ONCE UPON A RED EYE-Life on the road with Gordon Lightfoot-Richard Hari

Re: NEW BOOK!-ONCE UPON A RED EYE-Life on the road with Gordon Lightfoot-Richard Hari

yeah I was being flippant above, but I'm sure there was some, uhh, "deeper content" and that the language presented in the published story may have been soft-pedalled a bit.

The fact that I got...

Re: NEW BOOK!-ONCE UPON A RED EYE-Life on the road with Gordon Lightfoot-Richard Hari

One thought I had after reading it... It seemed to me that the book was intentionally written around a PG-13 rating, makes me wonder what the R-rated version would be like!

Re: CRYSTAL GAYLE and Ribbon of Darkness on her new LP

Modern country I don't care much for , but this leans more retro to my ears, so I have no issues with it. I'd be much more bothered if it was a Country Rap version!
