I don't know the first song I ever heard, I was only a baby the first time I heard him. My dad was a big Lightfoot fan, and used to listen to his albums. The first song I remember hearing was in the late eighties. I was on a camping trip with my boy scout troop, and our scoutmaster was telling us ghost stories. Then he told us to listen to this song, and its story. He played The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald for us. I remembered the song, but didn't know from where so I asked my dad if he ever heard of this Gordon guy. Well he gave me his Gord's Gold, Summertime Dream, and Cold On The Shoulder albums, and I've been hooked ever since.
