The first song that I remember hearing was The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald. I was in a cabin in Miles Standish state forest in Massachussettes. I was in the boy scouts at the time, and one of are scoutmasters told us to get in are sleeping bags close are eyes and listen to this song and just picture it in are minds. Needless to say i was blown away by the imagery the song produced, and it was also a familiar song. When I got home I asked my dad if he ever heard of Gord. He walked away and came back with Gord's Gold, and Cold on the Shoulder. He used to play the Wreck when I was very little, and thats where i remembered it from.
My first concert was actually cancelled. I was really ticked off about it. I had bought tickets for me and my dad for his birthday. Back in 94 I finally got to see Gord at Symphany Hall in Boston, again the tickets were for my dads birthday. it was a wonderful show,the best concert I have ever been to. I still have the ticket stub from that show.
My first cd I bought was "Early Morning Rain", the best of lightfoot. I found that cd at a musicland at the westgate mall in brocton mass back in 1990
