Hi all,
New to the board today. My name is Dan, and I'm a folk-rock guitarist living near Ann Arbor, Michigan. GL is my primary interest, and I enjoy performing a wide range of Lightfoot tunes on stage when I have the opportunity. I no longer have my weekly gigs, but often sit in with some other musician friends who also appreciate GL. I'm hoping to chat with anyone else who plays and/or sings his material, and would eventually love to perform with one or more individuals with a strong Lightfoot interest.
I most frequently perform songs like Home from the Forest, Go-Go Round and Don Quixote. I'll do Canadian Railroad Trilogy or Seven Island Suite when there's time (which there often isn't). CRT was the first song I ever did in front of an audience. Of the GL songs I do, people have most frequently requested If You Could Read My Mind, which I also play almost every week in the little pub in town. (They also request Sundown a lot, which I don't do because a single acoustic guitar can't easily do it justice.)
There are a number of other GL songs I play, but most of them aren't as popular because few people know the more obscure ones - Spin, Spin and Movin' are among my favorites.
I learn more about music every time I play, and every time I have the privilege of playing a GL tune with another musician. Lots to learn! Glad to have found this site.
Take care all!
Dan
