hello bflataugmented
yes he is great. i've known this for over 30 yrs. for a long time i thought was among the few who truly loved this man's music. i've been a fan since i was 13 yrs. old; i'm now 45. i can remember being around 6 when i first heard "Daisy Doo" a very early Gord record. Something about the song (i can't even remember the melody now) was very catchy but doesn't resemble anything he's done since.
ever since finding this Lightfoot site, it's great to know i'm in good company. Gordon is quite simply a songwriting genius, & i'm not saying that just because i'm a fan. Songs like "Seven Island Suite", "The Soul Is the Rock", "The Watchman's Gone", & many songs from that period (Sundown, COTS) are among his best.
Anyways, enough for now,
James Hill
