And Ken,if you're just now listening to A Painter, you should listen to Harmony. The voice actually sounds slightly better on that album. (Although the songs are not quite as good as on A Painter.) [/QB]

Amazing how the tastes of Lightheads differ.
To my mind (and ear come to that!) the Harmony album's selection of songs is infinitely superior to APPT especially my constant favourite that Gord wonderfully and rarely sang in Vegas in April 2005 (golly 2 years ago already) at my personal request and memorably introduced it as "here she comes,Inspiration Lady and it's for John and Susan,John and Susan"
Ken could get a very good idea of this masterpiece from the fabulous video which is still viewable on the Linus site at
http://www.linusentertainment.com/st...on%20Lightfoot
which somewhat amusingly now links to the uploaded video on the ubiquitos youtube
where a search for inspiration lady produces
which was apparently uploaded by none other than
Linusentertainment, which makes me wonder a bit
still from the video
alleged promotional CD Single for IL as found on ebay
I also recommend that Ken listens to the short samples of all 11 tracks at the amazon site:-
http://www.amazon.com/Harmony-Gordon-Lightfoot/dp/... not all the reviews there are fully complimentary but the final one says it all really
"His lyrics still send chills and speak to the heart and mind. The music goes hand in hand with those well-crafted words. In many ways, I think this is one of the best albums he has given us. It truly is a gift. Thank you, Gordon."
