...if any of the other four can't make it, we'll recruit some new musicians. I'm sure there are many around, and probably quite a few right here in Corfidland who are itching to do one of these tributes. There is nothing more fun than getting together to play Lightfoot music!
Hi Cathy,
You're absolutely right... I would be among those musicians itching to take part in any Gord tribute. I'm in Michigan (we've chatted briefly once or twice) and have played guitar only locally, and rather infrequently at that. It's been hard to find fellow musicians with the same musical taste as me - Lightfoot being #1, but also heavily influenced by Simon & Garfunkel, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, etc. And I haven't made it into the Tuesday (?) chats yet, either, but haven't forgotten about them.
Anyway, geography and distance notwithstanding, I would love to be involved in a tribute. I do rhythm guitar, some fingerpicking/flatpicking & vocals. DQ is one of my favorites to play, but I have also performed BossMan, Home from the Forest, CRT (the 1st song I ever played for an audience), IYCRMM, Sit Down Young Stranger, Go Go Round, Fitzgerald, Seven Island Suite, Movin', Did She Mention My Name and several others. I still don't have what I need to record and (now in the midst of a divorce) it'll be awhile before I can arrange recording. I do have an old recording of my ex-partner (on upright bass) and me (on guitar) doing two songs from Gord's "Two Tones" days with Terry Whelan - "The Fox" and "Sinnerman".
Whew! Sorry to ramble on... Suffice to say it would be great fun to be part of any Lightfoot tribute.
Dan
