HAPPY BIRTHDAY! GORDONMEREDITH LIGHTFOOT ,JR ( 70)

STILL LOVE your songs & followed your career since 1977 (when I was a child.. grew up with GL music ) thanks to my Dutch father , but unfortunately never been able to attend one of your concerts.

Canada that brought us a World’s MasterCrown Troubadour –“ the work of a mature and gifted songwriter “

Thanks for timeless warm and catchy poets/ ballads and riffs you offered the mankind ears throughout decades, blessed with your beloved musicians Red Shea (lead guitar)- may rest in peace - and Rick Haynes (bass) on your side.

Yes…Blessed I am with the fact that I´m named after one of the top 100 most beautiful songs "a Precious One"ever written on the planet Earth, 2nd track on the album “Summer Side of Life” … how fortuitous !, being born 1971 ( October 13th ), the year this Masterpiece was released.

Great RESPECT for the man ! The highest civilian honour of Troubadour - icon CANADA can be proud of !!!

Have a pleasant celebration with your family and all the people you love… Keep writing and singing your songs in the years may come ! { that more people may inspired by your music }
