In 1987, Gordon made his television debut as an actor, on ABC's Hotel. Following the movie 'Harry Tracy", which he did years before. What was his character's 'name' on Hotel, he played a Country Singer just off the booze, making a comeback. And what was the name of the young actor, who played his son named, "Mark". (Two Parter), as I feel the first one is relatively easy... :) :rolleyes: :(

Lightfoot played Joe Daniels and Matthew Laborteaux played his son, Mark.

Great job Janice, you are correct. Matthew Laborteaux played on Little House On the Prairie I knew that one. No help from Borderstone.

Now Janice or anyone else feel free to post one...

If not I will post another one.

Bravo to Janice # 44 The answer was Joe Daniels, and Matthew Laborteaux...

WHEN DON HARRON INTERVIEWED GORD IN AROUND 1980, GORD TOLD HIM THAT CANADIAN MUSICIANS SHARE CHART POSSESIONS WITH NOT ONLY CANADIANS ACTS , BUT ACTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. HE SAID "ONE ACT THAT I MOVED OUT OF FIRST PLACE ONCE WAS ?? AND I DID IT WITH SUNDOWN HE DROP TO NUMBER 2 AND I DROP IN AT NUMBER 1...SO IT CAN HAPPEN". :rolleyes:

WHO WAS THE ENTERTAINER THAT LIGHTFOOT WAS TALKING ABOUT? HE ALSO STATED THAT IT WAS CASHBOX, AND BIILBOARD MAGAZINE. "IM NOT TALKING ABOUT NUMBER 1 FROM LETHBRIDGE ALBERTA HERE.".. :D

To be fair my memory did indicate that it was somebody rather more famous than Bo Donaldson,I had thought maybe Rod Stewart but I cheated,googled and found the above listing
along the way I dropped on on:-

Now Homer be a good chap and apologise profusely to Zoneranger!!

No John, Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods is not the correct answer. Read the quiz question carefully.

I could not find a better photo of Gord as Morey Nathan. Rather didn't have the time. Probably someone like our Sir John will post one? I hope so anyway. :)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...an_thicke2.jpg


Quiz? Alan Thicke interviewed Gordon Lightfoot when they were filming, 'Harry Tracy'. Gordon was wearing his Marshall, Morey Nathan costume, for the movie. And Alan told him I know you packing a pistol here. And Gord got the gun out to show to Thicke, and he told him how many times he gets to fire the gun in the movie...

So thats the Question. How many times did Gordon shoot the gun in the movie?

{A} Once
{B} Five times
{C} Nine times
{D} Twenty-two times
{E} Never fires the gun.

Good Luck to everyone who participates. :) :D :rolleyes:

No one tried the quiz, so its still there.

[ May 27, 2006, 15:59: Message edited by: Jessi -Joe ]

I only saw the movie once and the only thing I remember is perhaps him (GL) shoot at Bruce Dern when he made a break near the railroad tracks. I'm totally guessing here... I'll say choice B. Weren't some guns six-shooters? He wouldn't have had time to reload in a quick gun battle and once would have been silly. Perhaps his gun jammed for bullet number six...

Its a good logical guess Sheryl, but no tomato. Sorry! :(

I'm pretty sure he didn't fire at all.

I've only watched my DVD twice (to keep it good) and it's not really a thing I paid attention too.

Yes, Borderstone, but it's the Alan Thicke interview that would have given you the answer. But your right. Felicitation Borderstone :)

So I guess we can cap this one... :) :D ;) :rolleyes:

Gordon Lightfoot made only one appearance on The Tommy Hunter Show. After finishing his first song, which was 'Shadows'. They talked a little. Tommy told him, I see you 3 or 4 times a year, we get together, we had dinner hundreds of times. And I see you on the golf course with that 3wood, hit that thing 230 yards. And of course Im back cause I stand on the wrong side of the ball. And then Gordie turning towards the audience said "That's right folks he's a ????? ?????? Can someone tell me what Gord called Tommy? I guess for a person that plays golf this is maybe easy. It's maybe a term that they use in the game of golf, I really dont know...GOOD LUCK!!! :) :D :rolleyes:

(H)omer IMHO you are not playing fair
Just because you have all these old video recordings and the rest of us don't you think you sre smart by replaying them and picking out a nugget of mind blowing trivia to pose a question.
Regarding your last poser I am not quite honestly very interested in any sporting question even if Gord asociated. But if each ? in your clue is one character then it just might be
"damn leftie"??
http://www.left-handed-golfers.com/images/logo.jpg

I tried googling and only found smart-ass comments like
"According to one golf writer, left-handed golfers used to be as rare as a double eagle. "

Maybe Im not playing fair, but it's not intentionaly. But I dont watch the old clips. I have watch them so many times that I know most of them by heart. And I tought there would be at least another one like me in here. AS Im sure there are.

Here's another one that comes to mind just by answering you. Peter Gzowski told Gord, I live with someone who can bloody well recite you. I go into, the ghost and a wishing well, and she gives me the rest of the song. And Gord laughed like crazy. JJ, Omar, Omer, Homer...

[ May 30, 2006, 05:52: Message edited by: Jessi -Joe ]

duffer would be my guess...

I remember Gzowski saying that and Gord laughing..

No tomato Char, Im guessing that a golf player uses this term maybe? IF I was a golfer I would be one. I shoot the puck left side, same as batting the baseball, and what have you? Yet I write with my right hand, also play guitar right handed, like Gordon, Im really proud about that one. (LOL) :D

[/QUOTE]I am playing fair Johnny, What is it with you? It's as if your always looking to start something with me? {LOL} Just kidding... [/QUOTE]

Charlene you living in the Toronto area, Have you ever been to a Tommy Hunter Show {TAPING}? I really do miss that show. He had a lot more years, that he could have done it. Probably still could... :)

[ May 30, 2006, 12:33: Message edited by: Jessi -Joe ]

no - never went to a taping of the Tommy Hunter Show but watched many many many of them.....

Just like me, :rolleyes: I dont know what it was, he just made you feel good about being Canadian. :) To me anyway, plus was a very good friend with Gordon. And he would mention him every season. Always doing a couple of his songs. Did you like Front Page Challenge? I remember making my lessons at night, and when Front Page would come on , I had to go watch it. Iv'e got a good Gordon Sinclair story that I might share with you all one day if you want to hear it. It depicts the kind of a man (father) he was. Pierre Berton, Betty Kennedy, Fred Davis. And in the later years, Jack, Bruno, Alan, Boy it was great... :)

OK OK you keep leaving yourself open for criticisms and witticisms my friend
Example
Omer it's make your mind up time originally you said
"That's right folks he's a ????? ?????? Can someone tell me what Gord called Tommy?"
I replied entirely logically
"But if each ? in your clue is one character then it just might be "damn leftie"??"
But you failed to confirm that I was correct
Now you have changed your tune and say:-
""That's right folks he's a ??? Can someone tell me what Gord called Tommy?"
So using the same impeccable reasoning he must have said "???"="wit"/"rat"/"sot"/"nut"/"cad"/"sod"/
"con"/"fop"/
Which one is it??
John Fowles
The winner by default!!!

was the answer 'tomato" ?????
if not then what was it he called Tommy ????

NO NO Omer specified "???" which is only three letters ??
BUT... dear Charlady I feel you are possibly onto something here.So let's try a simple "Tom"
!!!
An interesting aside here in the UK the best tow-mah-toes are from the chamnel island of Jersey
and are known as "Jersey Toms"
Here in the States me tooism says the best
US Tow-May-toes come from tada tada New Jersey!!
Also there is the Toms River in New Jersey

and...and...last year
"Members of the Assembly Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee on Monday approved a measure designating the Jersey tomato as the official state vegetable."
http://www.jerseylife.com/images/tomato.gif
John Fowles
"There's not many people know that" as Michael caine was wont to utter

I didn't see the show, but I can imagine Gord saying "south-paw".

Swede your close enough. He turned to the audience and said, "That's right folks he's a South Putter." I went to take a look at the show one more time, and you are absolutely right. He does say. "That's right folks he's a "south-paw".

Jees Swede, Im starting to think your the man himself. If not your someone really close to him , Barry Harvey, Tommy Hunter, A band member?


You also got Iqualuit, from the other quiz, with The late great Peter Gzowski. You have to be Gordon Lightfoot? I worship you man.

[ May 31, 2006, 17:13: Message edited by: Jessi -Joe ]

The answer for Tommy Hunter quiz is, South Paw...

Swede #1091 got it, just like he got Iqualuit, on the Peter Gzowski question.
