not sure i like the "Gords hordes" name..I think i prefer "Lightheads"..
lol
but we ARE polite, regardless of what we're called!
It's a very wistful sort of review..a bit melancholy but still 'up'..
"If Lightfoot was a tree, he'd be a maple at the peak of fall color reminding you that the leaves aren't forever.."
A bright red maple leaf is an image that comes to mind when you think of Canada - the red leaf on our flag.
I chose that leaf for a tattoo I got in July. I told Gord last week I chose it because I am proud to be Canadian, a Canadian like him. The T-shirt I gave him had a stylized red maple leaf on it with the word CANADA below it..
it's a fitting analogy of Lightfoot being a red maple leaf..he represents Canada so well and he always will - that fact and his music will last forever.
I have a slight obsession with all things 'leaf' oriented..including The Toronto Maple Leafs..even if their leaf IS blue..
A few years ago I gave Gord a red glass leaf that I made .(again the conenction of red leaves/Canada/Lightfoot).
Lightfoot and a leaf - two fine representatives of Canada..
