Re: Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story

I haven't watched the documentary yet, though I intend to after watching this. I will say that Gord has some pretty interesting taste in wallpaper!

Greetings, I haven't posted here for a long time though I occasionally have lurked a bit. Good to see this group, along with Gord is still going strong.

At any rate, I was listening to one of the...

Re: Neil Young sings EMR@FarmAid 2013&IYCRMM-3-2014

Nice job on both songs. Neil definitely did them justice.

I don't know if Mr. Lightfoot has ever covered Neil Young, but it would be interesting to hear his take on something like "Long May You...

Today it would be "All the Lovely Ladies"

That would be true of a lot of days.

Re: Horse names - Lightfoot inspired

How about:

"Morning Rain" -bound to be an early leader

"Something Very Special"
"Paper and Tin" - a horse that would run races that only she could win
"Love go round"

OK, that's enough.

After 40 years, i still hear people singing "every highway." Probably the most misheard Lightfoot lyric.
