The first songs of GL I heard were "Did She Mention My Name", "Alberta Bound" and "Early Morning Rain". I lived in Montana, really close to the Canadian border, so I grew up listening to CJOC out of Lethbridge, Alberta. They played alot of Lightfoot and Ian and Sylvia and Tommy Hunter, etc. I fell in love immediately with his singing and style of writing.
The first concert I attended was in Portland, Oregon. Since that time, I have seen him 3 times in Oregon and 4 times in Iowa.
The first album I bought was "Sundown" and I received the boxed set for Christmas.
So, what GL song has affected you the most?
For me I have to say that the song that has had the most impact on me is "Rainy Day People". I consider myself to be a "rainy day" person, a "contemplative troubadour" I believe is how Gordon put it.
