Just a few words of appreciation for a still living artist.


I picked up a compilation of Gordon Lightfoot's greatest hits earlier this year and was blown away by how wonderful his whole catalog is. I grew up in the 70's with the radio on all the time, and of course remembered hearing the handful of his popular songs on the roster as a kid. I never owned any of his albums or considered myself a folk music fan, but hearing the rest of his efforts after having lived my share of life is a true source of pleasure. There really isn't a bad song among them.

So I looked him up, and sure enough he's still kicking at 84. I'm sure there are a few here who've seen him in concert back in the day or in more recent years. Would love to hear any stories or insights you may have. 

Happy Listening

I saw Gordon Lightfoot in 1982 at Jones Hall in the museum district downtown Houston

I'm going to hear the Houston Symphony Orchestra perform Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" there next month.
