Re: Tony Rice

I was a big fan and have several of his albums. That he was a Lightfoot fan was just icing on the cake. Was very sad to hear of his passing. RIP.

Re: HOT DOCS-Lightfoot doc.-interviews/photos/articles-Apr-2019-AND TV viewing info

"Before international fame, in 1967, he actually wrote and performed a piece called “The Tale of Canada” for the country’s 100th anniversary."

I assume, perhaps wrongly, that "The Tale of Canada"...

Re: the Lightfoot Childhood Homestead - PHOTOS

I'm very surprised he was able to remove the porch for such a long period of time. Not only does it look bad but the upper door opens to nothing. Seems like a code violation at the very least.

Re: pics from tv show-HOTEL-Jan.1988

Looking at those pictures again after a few years, I notice he's playing his McGlincy guitar. Gord had a dread made and I believe Terry C. had a 000 made with the same decorations.

Re: Rockford, IL Set List 6-15-19

Re: Must've Had Your Reasons

Maybe I'm crazy but the first line sounds a bit like the first line of the melody in Carefree Highway. But this song is so much faster, I'm not sure.
