Favourite Lightfoot song?
"Restless" The lyric "Do ya get that restless yearning when you think about yer Dad and the scrinshaw that he had of an old schooner rovin' 'neath a sky that's ironclad". Puts me in mind of my old Dad. I was born and live in England> My Father was a Canadian (Newfoundlander)came to Britain (WW2)met my Mother and remained. Being a Nwfy, he spent his young life at sea (fishing and rum running)My Mother left us when I was 7 and Dad did all that hard work getting me unscathed to my teen years long before social security eased the burden. Something for which I will be eternally grateful. Thanks Dad, and thanks to GL for some great songs.
My wife and I will be in the US in April and I have booked tickets for both Gordon's concerts in Milwaukee. Loking forward to it.
Dave H England.
