I remember Gordon Lightfoot doing CRT on The Johnny Cash Show.

I did like you John, in those days beleive it or not, I was taping from the TV, with a small Sears Tape Recorder. Reel To Reel. And Johnny 's introduction of Lightfoot went like this...

"In 1967, to help celebrate Canada's Centennial, Gordon Lightfoot was asked to write a song. He wrote what he calls, 'The Canadian Railroad Trilogy,' and that's a fine piece of songwriting. I beleive this is the first time he's doing this for us, and proud he is, Welcome, Gordon Lightfoot".

ABC should run those classic, Cash shows. It would be better than most stuff that is on TV now a days.
