Anyone Recognize This Guy?
A dude at work is trying to stump me...and succeeding.
This guy is primarily an acoustic player, lots of hits in the 70s. Still playing. He was known for his name, not the name of a band.  Help! BB

Re: Anyone Recognize This Guy?
Gordon Lightfoot is one of my favourite songwriters of all time. Brilliant artist, and decently nice guy too!
Rainy Day People Carefree Highway The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Pussywillows, Cat-Tails Song for a Winter's Night (Christmas song) If You Could Read My Mind Lazy Mornin' Sundown Some of my favourites... Just the tip of the iceburg though! |

Re: Anyone Recognize This Guy?
Haha.. Maybe.
 I actually got to meet him once, briefly and he was a great guy. Another great Canadian songwriter I'd love to meet is Joni Mitchell... But I've heard she can be difficult... But she is one of my greatest influences in my acoustic writing... Even though I can't come anywhere near her crazy melody lines! |

Lived 4 years in Ottawa earlier this decade, and during that time didn't hear a single Lightfoot song on the radio. I was shocked, given the Canadian content rules. Go figure. gibiphone just north of the mexican line |

Re: Anyone Recognize This Guy?
I really dig his stuff, as well.
Edmond Fitzgerald will always haunt me. Gave me bad dreams as a kid. BB

Re: Anyone Recognize This Guy?
He also looks just like a guy I served in the Army with. I can't for the life of me remember his name, because we just called him "Old Man." He was an E5 Sergeant just like I was, except he was in his late fifties and I was 23!
