Re: 90s Radio Shows

Very kind of you, Char. I really like the way his voice sounded in the early 90s and the band was really tight as I recall from hearing the shows back in the day.

Re: Universal Amphitheatre-L.A./august 1977 - Doug Kirk post

Re: It's Time For A Summertime Dream.

Usually Lightfoot himself arranged and performed all of his own harmonies. This is the case In Summertime Dream. He had quite a range in his younger days.
