Hey Wes!! Long time no hear - welcome back.

I agree with everyone else in that Harmony will definitely be discussed 30 years from now. I think it could be a very pivotal album in his career - not only from the stand point of the manner in which it was conceived and executed but with the excellent content as well. I think it will be the one that has the potential to create a "come back" for him. Not that he ever left in our hearts and minds, nor of the hearts and minds of the thousands who continued to go to his concerts and buy his albums over the years, but I mean a come back on a public level that puts him back on the radio and back in the charts.

The wonderful thing about Lightfoot's music is that it is ageless, so we'll also still be talking about Summertime Dream, If You Could Read My Mind, Old Dan's Records, Don Quioxte, Summer Side Of Life, etc., as well.

So good to hear from you again - don't be such a stranger.
