I know that just picking up the phone, and telling him personally is not possible. But, If by chance there is someone on this board who can (Im new here) tell Mr. Lightfoot what a influence he has made on me, would be a dream come true. He has always been a favorite of mine. The earliest I can remember is getting ready for school in the morning, and hearing "If You Could Read My Mind" on the local radio. Since hearing that song, I wanted to play...just like him. I did fullfill that and, taught myself to play and, on a local public level, I played. Now at 52, I'm at a time in my life where I am remembering the past and, being thankful for all of the people who made my life a bit brighter. Gordon Lightfoot, and his wonderful music, was definately a ray of sunshine.
So, if by some strange miracle, there is one here who can tell him thank you for me, it would be truly appreciated. Myron from PA, USA
