The Happiest of Birthdays to you Gordon Lightfoot
The first time I heard you sing I was 10 years old. Now at forty it seems like a
life time ago. You are one of those singers that we will never forget. Your songs
have so much depth and soul to them. You can be in the lousiest of moods, put
on one of your songs and it takes you away to a special place, and makes you feel like you're on top of the world again.
I watched a live concert on CBC on Oct.15/2000, your voice still has that something special. And boy, did you bring back some memories. I told my 12 year old son that I started to listen to your tunes when I was his age. He was
dumbfounded, and believe it or not, he sat there with me and watched the rest of the concert. Both him and I really enjoyed it.
So, not only do you have the old die hard fans still listening to you, you may also
have peeked interest in the younger generation and hopefully have a new following.
I hope you have the best birthday...and many more to come.
