The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame presents:
“If You Could Read My Mind”
February 4, 2010
George Weston Recital Hall
Gordon Lightfoot is a featured guest in the first of a new six part series presented by The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. “If You Could Read My Mind” brings together great Canadian songwriters in an intimate, humorous, spirited exploration of the source of songwriting and the impact of songs on our culture.
Few people, even Canadians, are aware of the depth of Canada's rich musical heritage and the enormous impact our country's songwriters have had on contemporary music around the world. Our songwriters have penned hits for Rod Stewart, Frank Sinatra, The Rolling Stones, Gene Autry, Céline Dion, Barbara Streisand, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Bing Crosby, Jacques Brel, The Counting Crows, Louis Armstrong and André Gagnon, to name but a few. The revelation of this news is always a source of great pride for Canadians and a cause for admiration internationally.
Through conversation and music “If You Could Read My Mind” contemplates the continuation of the lyric, ‘what a tale my thoughts could tell’ and will dig deep to unearth why Canada is such a hot bed for songwriting talent.
Hosted by Laurie Brown, the series will also feature performances from new and emerging Canadian songwriters.
