I saw on TV a couple of weeks ago, a special. It was about Canada's singer songwriter's of the 60's & 70's. And Gordon Lightfoot, long blond hair, was singing, "Did She Mention My Name," in 'The New Penelope Cafe', in Montreal. Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, were in the audience. They kept hitting each other in the ribs, saying one day that will be us. I never saw Gordon Lightfoot looked and sound so wonderful . Very young, no beard or mustache. Sounded great, Red Shea on 6 string guitar, Rick Haynes on Bass, and Gord on the 12 string. Pure Lightfoot magic. The Pic, that you posted up here, reminded me of that. JJ.

anybody who has not got a copy of the reissued/repackaged Gord's Gold
http://members.aol.com/jvesalga/cd.jpg could get one on ebay as a freebie from a really keen lightfoot fan trying to offload a duplicate and surplus paper shredder http://members.aol.com/jvesalga/cyclone1.jpg "The folowing auction is for a great paper shredder from Shredmaster. We have 2 so this one is up for sale. Works like new. Oh and I will throw in an almost new Gord's Gold - Gordon Lightfoot CD. Played once" there must be a joke in there somewhere, but I just can't think of it... anybody??? |

I am not sure if this counts but I googled for "lightfoot lyrics shred" and one result was at:- http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=34659 promising:- "The Delay of Flight 597 (with apologies to Gordon Lightfoot)" "Perhaps if Gordon was a traveling saleman like yours truly, the song would have sounded a little more like this... " "This is a great ...and funny mod of the Edmund Firzgerald song. You must have had a long time on your hands (at the airport) to have made up all this prose. ...yes, lots and lots of boring time. This is as long as the original. Good job man. Gordon Lightfoot and Wierd Al would both be proud" It would appear to be a 8.5MB download so if anybody with high speed connection could get it and report back I for one would be much obliged. One interesting thing happenned a pop-up curtly told me off for using an inferior browser and volunteered a link to download firefox!! John I liked the reference to Weird Al!!! No names no packdrill OK |

I lokkedevagain and this time I spotted a "lyrics" link
"I had to use the john but the seat belt sign was on And the stewardess said “what’s the matter?” Does anyone know where the love of God goes When ya got six cups of Joe in your bladder?" Now that is IMHO quite funny |

Mr. Fowles,
My contribution would be a TV commercial that proclaims : " Order your Shredmaster Cyclone today! As you tearfully watch your credit card statements, bench warrants, and tax liens disappear....if you order in the next 5 minutes, we will include a free Gords Gold, guaranteed to ease your anguish. But that's not all ! You will also receive a free copy of the lyrics to "Canary Yellow Canoe" ! Anyway, just a thought. RMD |
a probably rare copy of the (UK only??) promo" 12 inch single
DAYLIGHT KATY / HANGDOG HOTEL ROOM 1978 WB Records (UK) (K17214) is now on ebay http://i5.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/cf/8c/69_1.JPG I have to admit I had not properly read the "singles" page on Wayne's site before http://www.lightfoot.ca/single70.htm So it was some surprise to see this auction Val or anybody who might have copy are the two tracks the same length as the album versions? As I always thought that 12 inchers were sort of extended and therefore longer running disco specials I have 2 such:- Clapton's full length Layla (co-written with ex Lightfoot drummer Jim Gordon) and the full length Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd (correct spelling I checked) |

Do you know how much the New Penelope poster sold for at the auction?
I have this poster and I've been thinking of selling it but I'm wondering what to expect or hope for. It's really a pretty poster. |

Luckily I had saved the item number the auction ended at $75.00 but others may like to know something I was unaware of until Jenney put me wise to it last year if you sign in to ebay as a member then select advance search you can thenchoose between "Search title and description" and "Completed listings only" As auctions stay on line for about one month this auction and result is still viewable at:- Link John pretty reasonable sum for a nice souvenir did you go that week too?? Of course what you'd get for yours depends on the right person wanting it (preferably several bidders only one for that auction) [ July 25, 2006, 13:12: Message edited by: Florian ] |

A current ebay auction has for the first time that I have seen a scan of the back of the LP sleeve of the Japanese issue of 1969's fantastic album Sunday Concert
http://www.discjapan.jp/images/0801/momo/0801_176.JPG Yay Golden Rightfoot (or at least his surname) in Japanese no less!! The front is unusual to as it is in effect inside out as it comprises the 17 picture spread as found inside the gatefold of the original Canadian LP sleeve John Fowles http://www.ebaylightfoot.notlong.com |
