Hi fezo.
But I do need them both! I used to have four - but now that was just damn greedy! At times, I even miss the ones I sold. You can find a good one out there. I see them from time to time on eBay - and sometimes there is a real sweet one.

To my taste - the synthesizer part as used on the song "Is There Anyone Home" is quite tasty and perhaps even defines the song...musically that is.
True, the song can stand on its own acoustically - as can any Lightfoot song...but in small doses these things just do not bother me. Without synths - Heffernan could not provide the string parts in concert...even though clearly they are not real sounding...I for one like them present.
I do, however, agree that Lightfoot and HIS SONGS do not need bells and whistles.

But........

I MISS PEEWEE !
