I saw him in a small hick town in Wallowa County Oregon in 1991, it was a good show. RIP

When I was at Clemson in 1968 as a HS Jr one of my lab partners was a Gordon Lightfoot freak; she could play all his his songs to the last note; even had the same Gretsch guitar. I had never heard him before, but rapidly became a fan. Urged her to play around the Friday night campfire, but she was too shy; way better than any of us who did, though. Here's to you Denise, for introducing me to GL.

Was out of town when he passed, saw the post this morning, then spent some time slippen away on Carefree Highway, listening to some Gord's Gold.

The Mariner's Church of Detroit rang their bell 30 times in memory of Gordon Lightfoot — once for every man lost in the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and once for Lightfoot. Family members of the men lost in that wreck shared their memories with us.
