Has anyone checked-out the CBC Archives website?
http://archives.cbc.ca/300c.asp?id=1-68-743 I just enjoyed looking through "Gordon Lightfoot: Canada's Folk Laureate", a collection of 11 TV clips and radio interviews, plus some other links. One vintage TV clip was shot in Orillia and features commentary by his dad and mom, or "mum" as he says in his Canadian style. In another one Bob Dylan presents Gord with his award when he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame back in the 80's. It runs the gamut from the late 60's up to his recovery from the aneurysm in 2004. Gordon has often said he doesn't do television, at least not U.S. TV, but it would appear he's been on Canadian TV and radio quite a bit. As someone living in the States my exposure to him has been limited to radio airplay, albums and concert appearances, so it was refreshing to listen to him talk at length in the interviews and see the television clips for the first time. Just thought I'd pass this on.
