Summer Side Of Life...I sometimes wonder if I will EVER get all of his music bought and listened to.... Nightingale

Hey Nightingale,

I bought "Summer Side Of Life" when I was still in school. Listening to that Album in those days just simply made me happy to be alive, and I remember thinking Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian just like me. I really think that's when I started being proud to be a Canadian. The music and the words on that LP, his pronounciation of words on certain songs... and that face on the album cover, made me wish I was him... What A Guy !!!

In those days I had all the LP's, so when a new one would come out I would get it right away...

As for you Anne, discovering him this late in life, I suggest if you dont already own it, you should buy "Songbook" 4 CD's with songs from many of his LP's. But "Miguel" is not on there, nor is "Love & Maple Syrup", another great one.
