- - Twice in one drive home (http://www.corfid.com/vbb//showthread.php?t=14292)

I haven't been on here for quite some time, but I had to share this. Friday I was driving home from work (only 20 minutes), and heard IYCRMM on one station, and then Sundown on another! I got so excited, thinking of all the listeners in the South Bay (San Jose, California) who were hearing Gordon again or maybe for the first time.

good news!!
Last Saturday before I headed to the Trib Show in Port Hope with my mum and daughter we ate dinner at a local restaurant. When dinner was over they headed to the ladies room and I waited in the lobby area....and as I was thinking of the great Lightfoot music I would soon hear, the strains of SUNDOWN were heard over the sound system......and I could hear my daughter and mum laffing as they came up the stairs as they knew i'd say - "It's a SIGN from Gord!" lol
I never listen to the radio so the only time I hear Lightfoot music is when I play it myself.

2 songs on 2 stations in 20 minutes in San Jose CA., is pretty amazing!!

Hi Rona! Long time, no hear! Hope you're well!!

Hi Sheryl,

Thanks, I am well. I have one daughter graduating from college in May, and another graduating from high school two weeks later-it's been a crazy busy time, but good. Gordon is coming back north here in August, so I'll be there.

I never listen to radio either, except that rare occasion on a long drive (my two+ day drives) when I get tired of the CDs in my CD changer. But John and I decided to investigate the XM channels available on DirecTV. (I was motivated to do it at this time because there's a new show starting Wednesday that has Bob Dylan as host).

Within 15 minutes of turning it on, they played CRT (Sunday Concert version).

When I turned it on yesterday during the day - during that dead time of afternoon when there are no Law & Orders to watch - PP&M's EMR was playing. Later they played Gord's Fine As Fine Can Be. And a David Mallett song and a Dylan song, of course. I don't know what Sirius offers, but XM 15 (The Village) is definitely perfect for me!

The Dylan show starts tomorrow, with replays at various time and will play on XM 40 first, and then on XM 15. Each show has a theme, the first being "weather".

Hi Rona,
Im new here at Corfid, read your post and do agree with a good many, I rarely listen to radio any more even in long drive, Ile put a CD. I remember in the 70's, around 1974-1975, you would here Gordon Lightfoot every hour on many different stations during the day. Unfortunetly those great music days seem to be gone. I heard somewhere that even Gord himself, had phone a Toronto radio station asking them to stop playing Sundown so much. Big difference today. Anyway glad to have heard from you #791, hope to chat again.
All the best to you and yours!

"LONG LIVE GORDON LIGHTFOOT HIS MUSIC & CORFID"...

Val - the Dylan show sounds quite intriguing to say the least. let us know what he's up to and what he plays!

Hey,Rona!! :D
The only time I've heard more than one Gord song on the air in that short of a time?

On his birthday in 2003,I called Kool-FM (Oldies natch) and told the DJ that it was Gordon's 65th. He then played a special "3 in a row" for the occasion. "IYCRMM","Sundown" and of course "TWOTEF". :)

I've never heard that happen since. Oh and they never play,"The Circle Is Small (ICSIIYE)",even though it was a minor hit. :rolleyes:

here's the play list for the first 4 dylan shaows. the first one leaked out already a week and a bit ago.. its great and you'll all love it. he's very open about things

That's almost funny! :D Dylan liking LL Cool J! Who'd have thought that? ;) Good "song' choice on that one too! :cool: J! LOL!

not to mention Prince :eek: :D

:cool:

Prince is not so surprising to me,I could actually see Dylan covering his song,"Mountains" or even Dylan-esque version of "Money Don't Matter 2 Night".

Prince has some fairly "folk" type lyrics but given his musical category,it's not that easy to see.

$ Don't Matter 2 Night (example):

"Money don't matter 2 night,it sure didn't matter yesterday."
"Just when you think you've got more than enough,,that's when it all up & flies away".

I think Dylan would be great. :)
