I'd probably leave out the final two. Even though I've purchased them and would purchase anything else he records...I feel they are his weaker productions due to lack of full voice. Some of the more recent material sounds as though it should have had more takes to get the voice right.

I'd like to see whoever makes the final mix decisions on Mr. Lightfoots music to put more emphasis on his voice. I prefer to hear Gord and what he is singing with more clarity.

I'm wondering if a temporary break from touring would help out his voice any.

Forgive me if I've brought up a touchy subject with my reply, Frank. I want to see the best for Gord and even wonder if a temporary (and I emphasize temporary) break from touring would help his voice any. I realize that past vices have taken their toll but I hope for the best.

I'm B-a-ck! Finally got my computer 25Gig Hard-Drive replaced. I lost over 1000 MP3's!

It's taken me a few days to get some of my programs re-installed and about 200 MP3's!

A few days ago I was finally able to see the Gordon Lightfoot PBS TV Special from Las Vegas! I thought his voice and band members never sounded better! The Bass player did an exceptional job. I liked his last song best..."Canadian Railroad Trilogy" a classy ending to a class act. More Power To Ya Gord! Hope to see more of Gord on TV.
