Thank You So Much, Jim. Means a lot to me how you feel about GORDON LIGHTFOOT.
I very much look forward to any additional thoughts; comments and observations you may have on "Gordo".

AND...AND...AND...

...from your resident Canadian folk devotee:

Although they rarely appeared together on the same bill, GORDON LIGHTFOOT and JONI MITCHELL moved in many of the same circles early in their careers;
most notably, each appearing often at the Riverboat ~> a famous Toronto Coffeehouse.

This was the premier area Club at the time, and Gordon and Joni (along with Neil Young) were the top talents.
"Gordo" was seen as a national hero here in Canada and often referred to as an "icon" !!!

In the words of GORDON LIGHTFOOT:

"Sometimes I wonder why I'm being called an icon, because I really don't think of myself that way.
I'm a professional musician, and I work with very professional people. It's how we get through life."
