Thanks geodeticman, that explains it. So I will just call you Steve... Jessi- Joe. :D :D

Yep. That's the one I was thinking of. :)

Very Good, Fading Away. :)


Next Quiz: What did Gordon say is favorite Guitar Chord was? This of course is for the guitar buffs out there. Good Luck!!! :) :rolleyes: :D ;)

I believe he said the D9 chord was his favorite as it can be played with only one finger! :)
Primary chord played on "A Painter Passing Through."


Next question:

What was the name of the song GL used to do in concert in the 1970s that dealt with cannibalism?

What was the name of the song GL used to do in concert in the 1970s that dealt with cannibalism?

Partners

That is correct Doug. Gordon said he learned that song from Red Shea. Does anyone know who wrote the tune? I confess I do not so I'm hoping someone has the answer...

Gordon's favorite guitar chord is, "A". It can also be played with one finger. Maybe closetcanadian you heard him say D9, also? But the one I heard was the A chord. For the sake of having 'Peace.' Lets just say he's got 2 favorite guitar chords. JJ. :) :D ;)

The A chord primary used to play, Restless, Morning Glory, and many many more. It's a beautiful chord, my favorite has always been the "D" chord. Beginning to CRT.


I haven't got the answer for who wrote, 'Partners.' Maybe someone will?

Next Quiz.

In 1989-90, Marilyn MacKay interviewed our beloved Poet Genius. He told her the first song that he wrote, when being very young, was about what?? :D

HINT: It was about some invention, and they sold them by the millions. It was the ?/ craze. :rolleyes: :eek:

Pretty sure our Charlady, probably knows this one. But yet again, I might be wrong??? JJ. :)

Jessi-Joe - and all guitar players out there:

I own a yamaha classical guitar and in High School waaayyy long ago took lessons from a friend-girl unfortunately not girl-friend as I'd of preferred. I spent most of my time looking at her, but did pick up here and there a few orts.

One such I ask of the gang here who really knows pickin' : she said Gord's music is full of "minor sevens", particularly D-minor 7, if I remember her correctly. Was she right ? I know that when I played a few of these chords, I could definately here some pertinent riffs from several defining songs of GL's "sound", or feel. Was she correct ?
geo Steve

p.s. Jessie-Joe, calling me Steve as you requested is sure fine; however as it was pointed out to me, there are several Steve's in the forum, not always present. Frequent though is Sydney Steve. For this reason, you may wish to use the group's habit of calling me Geo- steve, or "geo", or some such you'll see at times, g-man is ruled out though by another member who goes by that. I am ambivolent on the Q, but the precedent exists prior to your kind request. I'm cool with anything pertinent. :)
geo Steve

Geo-steve sounds good to me. D-minor. Among many more. Just go to www.lightfoot.ca Thats the Wayne Francis site devoted to Gordon. Once there, click to find Lyrics & Chords. Every song is there, and if you want you can check the guitar chords for each and everyone of them. Lots of A, Am, D, Dm , etc...JJ. :)

what did Gord almost leave in the glove box of a rented car?

lyrics for carefree hiway....

what was Gord doing one hallowe'en evening about 12 years ago?

lol

giving out candy to trick or treaters at his home ?

Bill :)

He was waiting for trick & treaters, while strumming his guitar at his Rosedale mansion.

Urban legend has it that he was quietly sitting outside his house holding treats and hoping that Charlene and her kids would get lost
OK the really hard ones are coming now
whilst trying to find a suitable graphic (and phoning England brink snuck in and stole my thunder
I doubt if any Lighthead has ever heard it (or ever will for that matter) but it is pretty well known I taught that the craze was as demonstrated below by a svelte younger Omer
I won't spell it out because the word before "hoop" I just found may be spelt two ways:either with a "u" or a double "o"

In 1976, Gord did Olympic Team Benefit,w/ Murray McLauclhan, Sylvia Tyson, and Liona Boyd. Murray was wearing a Maple Leafs Jersey, And when Lightfoot introduced him to the crowd, he said "Doesn't he look like ??

Good luck!!!

At an annual Juno Awards celebration some 24/25 years ago Gordon Lightfoot was introduced by his good friend Alan Thicke. He said something like, I dont want this to sound like one of those warm dear personal friend type of introduction, that has gone on for a number of years. But I would like to say something special about our next guest. Most of us grew up, humming his music, some of us wishing we could play like him. I know him as a ?? when we play hockey together. So here he is singer, songwriter, ?? and friend, your appreciations for Mr.Gordon Lightfoot...

What did Alan Thicke called GL twice, at that Juno Awards program? Good Luck... JJ. :D :rolleyes: :)

Good swede, once again you got it. Congratulations my good man. :) ;)

Gordon wrote "Fine As Fine Can Be", for which person? :D ;)

I am fairly certain it was for his daughter Meredith
from a Brit
what song recorded earlier by Sir Cliff Richard did Gord and his then singing partner cover as a single in 1962 and which film was Cliff's original in??

[ June 09, 2006, 12:53: Message edited by: johnfowles ]

Song - Lessons in Love.
Partner - Terry Whelan.
Film - Young Ones.

excellent Suzi spot on
And in my mind I was thinking it was from "Summer Holiday"
I guess Gord saw "the Young Ones" whilst in London doing his television series

You were close John, "Fine As fine Can Be," was written for his daughter, Ingrid. You had the name wrong. Ingrid's mother would have been Brita.

Gordon told Marilyn MacKay that he had ??? songs on record in 17 original albums. That was in 1990.

How many songs ???

182? (Just a wild guess)

i seem to recall hearing 200 and thinking that Gord's estimate was on the low side

No your both close, John Fowles 2 & Fading Away. But remember this was in 1990.

Close but no cigars... JJ. :) :rolleyes:

Swede, are you around? Can you answer this one?

Gordon told Marilyn MacKay, in 1990 that he had ??? songs, on record in 17 original albums. That was the number.

I can only guess at this one. I'll say 172 - an average of just over 10 songs per album.

Right on the money, If your not Gordon Lightfoot, I will eat my guitar? LOL :D ;) :rolleyes: :)

What did Gordon tell Peter Gzowski in the interview on CBC TV. "Gzowski In Conversation." About destroying some albums in a dumster? {1} Why destroy them? {2} And why they didn't want to have folks play them where?

Toad,or a frog..is my guess.
Who played the melody one liner on the keyboard
on the sone "Shadows"?
I bet no fan knows that one except for me!
Mike Hefferman told me himself!

I do, I think anyway. It was Gordon Lightfoot himself, who did that job...JJ. :) :rolleyes: :)

No toad or frog, not close no cigars... :D :) :eek:
