Dan, update here
looks like the fall release is deferred until Jan05 (maybe the Hugh's Room gig in T.O. will double as a CD release launch?)
got this from a Red Deer article:
"Cormier will play at least one Gordon Lightfoot song from the new Lightfoot album The Long River which is scheduled for release in January. Cormier is the sole musician on the 19-song tribute, playing six and 12 string guitars, drums, percussion, strings, keyboards, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, piano, electric and acoustic bass and performing all vocals"
you should also do a tribute comp (cathy has one coming too LAST spring, lol...joking, i realize these things get delayed), i'd love to hear your Seven Island Suite for starters
