Re: LIGHTFOOT by Nicholas Jennings - Sept.2017

Re: Finally Saw Canada II

Travelled from Ireland. Yeah I was actually in a TIFF line myself when I spotted Massey Hall!

Great weather I was walking around Leslieville on Tuesday and had to buy suncream!

Re: Second Cup of Confusion - what does this mean?

I never thought about it specifically in terms of Gord's life, only, as a "song".

I took it to be about calling your ex and regretting it.

Re: earlier demo recording of Too Much To Lose

Thanks for all these replies and the old thread, very interesting about voicings etc.

I can understand wanting to avoid some of those chords, particularly on the 12-string.

Re: Favorite Terry Clements licks?

I really love the riffs running through Dream Street Rose, they just bounce around the song almost harmonic in style. Probably not a major Lightfoot tune but one of my favourites.
