Dude,you mis-quoted me.What I said was that Lightfoot stoped playing songs in the key of C
because of his voice.In other words,whatever songs
he previously wrote and recorded in the key of C
he would do them now in the key of B which is one fret lower on the guitar!
For instance,"Can. Railroad Trilogy" was originally sung in "F".These days,when he plays it it's in E.(one fret lower,or 0ne half step).
What a funny topic! -Robby Lake

When did he drop the capo a step down? The last time Iwas at a concert, just a year or two ago, he was still playing and singing in exactly the same key he had recorded the songs in, back in the '70s.

Has anyone else noticed this?
