JOTTING DOWN NOTES
DYLAN AND GORDON LIGHTFOOT JOINT TOUR?
Following Dylan's recent Stateside jaunt with Paul Simon, Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot has revealed that a tour with Dylan next summer is a possibility.
In an interview with New York City reporter Eric J. Greenberg, to promote his new 4-CD set, Songbook, Lightfoot was asked about possible tour plans with his famous songwriting friend.

Lightfoot said: "It's possible with Dylan. They want to team people up. Sure, we're thinking about doing that next summer. I don't know if it will be Dylan, but I can tell you one thing for sure. I can let him close." (Laughs).
Dylan has long been a great admirer of Lightfoot. On November 30, 1975, Dylan and Lightfoot were filmed at the latter's Toronto home during the Rolling Thunder Revue. Lightfoot's version of Dylan's Ballad in Plain D from this session was later used in Renaldo and Clara.

Last year, the Dylan-Lightfoot mutual appreciation society continued, when Dylan covered I'm Not Supposed To Care in concert, while Lightfoot returned the compliment in the same week by singing Ring Them Bells, a song he also included on a studio album several years ago.
