My favorite person who covered Lightfoot is a man that none of you have heard of. Well, I take that back - my very first post to the News Group eons ago was in response to a thread Jenney started and I spoke of this same guy, so some of you may remember hearing about him
He was a friend of my family's when I was about 12 or 13 and toured the country playing in a restaurant chain called Ireland's. He did several Lightfoot tunes and was responsible for introducing me to Lightfoot's music. His name is Rusty Ballinger.
