My wife and I have gone nuts in the last couple of months listening to his stuff; it's a Lightfoot overload as we saw him in Vegas in August (twice), then Shadows and Salute were released, and then his health problems.
I like to bang around on the guitar, but I rarely put a song to memory that I can play and sing all the way through. About the only Lightfoot song I'd memorized over the years was Steel Rail Blues. Now, I'm putting about a song a week to memory. So far I've got these Lightfoot songs down:
Triangle (my all time favorite song!)
Auctioneer (I know, not written by him, but fun)
IYCRMM
Romance
Dreamland
Working on Sweet Guinevere (I'm having a heckava time with the timing on this one) and Tattoo right now.
Get well, Gordy...this planet needs you.
