Re: Deb Brinkley - aka - brink

I've pretty much lost direct contact with the Lightheads I met online and in person from the late 90s thru the mid 00s.

Re: ? About Early Recordings.

Yes I think it was kind of selfish.

But you need to look at it from his point of view. He was trying to make a buck or two in the music world. He no longer made any money from those early...

Re: My own twisted way of remembering Gord

Thank you!

Back in the day I remember a comment that someone did not trig one of the clips (Pretty sure it was plumber Doug) BUT, this was never meant as some kind of a contest.

My own twisted way of remembering Gord

FRAGMATIC

A celebration, of sorts, of the songs of Gordon Lightfoot.

Re: ? About Early Recordings.

Re: 1962 - Lightfoot and The Two Tones - Audio CD

While there is one track on there that I have not heard, I do wonder if it's just like someone took the recordings I already have on my computer and put them onto a CD?
