I only wish he would read some of this stuff and see what an impact he still has on real people. Thank you Mr. Gordon Lightfoot!!!
Yes, a real impact, on real people. You know, when I heard "Carefree Highway" for the first time in twenty years I cried - and cried, and cried ... not because I was sad ... I was ecstatic, the feeling was one of "coming home" That was a moment I will never be able to re-create and will always remember. It just brought back so many things, so many times, so many people, and something that was definitely still alive in me and I realised that then. So many people, in places he hasn't even dreamed about, have gained so much from his music. I know I will never lose this again, and that I need to hear at least one song every day now - so important to me. There is a song for every occasion, for every mood - for every need. Forever.
