Dear ii - First of all, thanks so much for the posted items. I would NEVER have found these clips by myself, so interesting. I agree with Char re the penmanship and the use of the English language. My brother is only a year or two older than GML and the 16-year difference in our ages really shows in what was emphasized when he went to school versus when I went to school. The curriculum seemed to speed uo and really go downhill much faster in the late 60's and early '70's. I work for attorneys, who you would think would have a command of the English language - I am appalled at the mistakes I see. I think that's why Lightfoot's lyrics and command of the language is particularly pleasing to me.
This note also shows what a good businessman GML is - being a wonderful 'troubador' and a good businessman is not mutually exclusive! However, I know, the good businessman side of GML is largely overlooked.
Thanks again, ii! SherylKat
