Capt Bob, I envy your move to Lake Superior. In Sept, my husband and I were to celebrate our wedding anniversary in Florida. Given all the uncertainty at that time we opted to drive, instead, to the north shore where we had spent our honeymoon 25 years before. We stayed in a place tucked right into the rocky shore and listened to the waves crash & Gordon sing. (I travel nowhere without my Gordon cds!) When we left for home there was a billboard along the highway that said something about heading back to the rat race. Gordon was singing Seven Island Suite, a song that suddenly hit home. Sure felt like staying! quote:Originally posted by Capt Bob:
I like this site. I just moved from Florida to Minnesota and one of my inspirations to move here was "Song for a Winter"s Night". My wife and I are building a cabin, on the shores of Gitche Gumme, and the first song played will be just that. I know anyone on this website are big fans of Mr. Lightfoot, but I'm not sure how much some of you realize how huge this songwriter is. As humble as our hero is, there are many of his contemporaries who consider him the best songwriter of all time. How many songs were written by Misters Lennon and McCartney, in fact, how many by Mister Bob Zimmerman? OBviously a bunch but, I believe Gord has written at least as many and as us true believers KNOW.Who has done this with the heart, the passion,the honest courage, and truly the voice that came from you and me. I hope you all understand how lucky we are and I would hope you will frequent his tour dates. I hope to see Mr. Lightfoot up here in the frozen North soon. from a hero who often fails... Capt. Bob
