Thanks for thanking me, Ken. Very much appreciated.
And for the record (pun intended, hahaha), I'd also like to thank you too....

For starting up this legendary KINGSTON TRIO PLACE website (since 1997) which BOB SHANE himself, enjoyed immensely....
sometimes even posting his own comments and observations.

Now here we are in 2023, living in a world of uncertainty, complicated by galloping inflation, etc....
yet you manage to keep KINGSTON TRIO PLACE alive and well and kicking for fans of THE KINGSTON TRIO and Folk Music;
and for other kinds of music, as well; including interesting topics. And let's not forget: SASS

What you do, speaks volumes, Ken ~> and it doesn't go un-noticed.

Okaaaay, so once I'm here, how 'bout another inspiration for a GORDON LIGHTFOOT song?

"IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND"

In the words of GORDON LIGHTFOOT:

It's a song about the failure of marriage. No matter how much it stung, you had to keep on writing tunes.
You had a band and a recording contract, so you pressed on. Nobody dreamed that it would become a hit; and a big one, at that.
The album (originally entitled: "Sit Down Young Stranger" before this became the title track) was out seven or eight months before the song emerged;
And I was glad it did. It's about peace and acceptance. It stood the test of time. My gosh, fifty years and counting?
Funny thing is, I never get tired of doing it.

- Gordon Lightfoot
