I was told I look look like a lost Gordon Lightfoot on the cover of my 2004 "Pieces" release. Thanks for the inspiration Gordy! What do you folk think?

It's hard to tell. All we see is the back of your head. I guess the back of your head resembles the back of Gord's head.

Nice clips, though. I could hear the Ligthfoot influence. The intro to 5th Avenue is very similar to the intro of If You Could Read My Mind.

You should make your clips a little longer, though. They weren't long enough to really get a feel for the song.

You've got a great voice.

That's it with the mighty Xingu River in the background.
Oh really well as I tried to point out in an earlier topic on Manaus you have been taken in by Gord's poetic licence because although he clearly says that The No(bo) Hotel is in the suburbs of Manaus he also said that he met Sting on the Xingu River (which appears in your picture).Unfortunately said river is quite close to the mouth of the Amazon whereas Manaus is something like 300 miles further up river at the confluence of the Negro and the Amazon
http://www.greatestplaces.org/images/maps/brazil.jpg
still it gives me another chance to show a picture of the small Brazilian airliner named after the river:-
http://www.dolphin-one.org/images/jpeg/Xingu-Manaos.jpg
An Embraer EMB121 Xingu flying apparently over Manaus spelt "Manaos" by the picture taker!!!
My best theory is that Gord with his love of word sounds:-
think
"Reveling, disheveling"
"Voicing Rejoicing"
decided that saying "Xingu (pronounced "shing-goo")"
on the Massey and other stages was much more satisfying and less politically incorrect than having to say Negro!!
Discuss
cheers
John Fowles

edited to substitute a more appropriate airliner picture and add SM's pic at the top for clarity

I tried it on the last one but I'll try it here too.
Given the reindeer's attitude to the hunter,I'll say it's "Hey You". http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

..and yes,I know that rhymes! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

Thanks John but I was aware of that fact. I could not find any info on the No(bo) Hotel so I had to improvise. What's a few hundred miles? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hey where's that moose? It just gotta be around here somewhere! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

jj 11-18-2004 08:45 PM

All I'm After???? (hmmm, could be strike 3x)

...this is just a guess but I must confess it feels better being certain" http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

stationmaster 11-19-2004 09:48 AM

This would be easy if you remember 1986 http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Brannah 11-19-2004 10:29 AM

That moose had "Gotta Get Away"

Borderstone 11-19-2004 07:20 PM

Are you saying it's "You Just Gotta Be" (??)

If so,that's my guess. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

hmm Pride of Man?

Borderstone 11-20-2004 07:30 PM

I think Station's trying to pull a fast one!

I said "Hey You" to the last one,so I believe he's trying it with this one! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

So my guess is,"Hey You". http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
