Tony Rice introduced me to Gordon Lightfoot. Between the exposure from Tony to Gordon, and my first trip to Canada last summer, I am hooked on this artist and his music. People may knock others who cover Lightfoot's songs, but to me it brings a lot of joy as a fan, and respect to somone like Tony Rice when they choose Lightfoot's material over countless others. At least 3-5 days a week, I can't wait to get home and play one of Gordon's songs on my guitar that has been going through my head that day.
