[B]What is your favorite Lightfoot Song & Why?
There is ONLY one Lightfoot song -- CRT (Canadian Railway Trilogy), though his naval tragedy -- NO NOT EDMUND FITZGERALD! -- Yarmouth Castle is a close second. Now, why...
CRT is like K2 and Everest...because it is there. There is no other folk song that is so complete, complex and simple...all at the same time. I have been blessed to hear it live three different times and still shiver at the rememberance. This song IS Lightfoot...all that follow the man should know that.
Yarmouth Castle...I do not understand why he does not do this in concert, it is fantastic! Like Fitzgerald is based in fact, but is a much better, though realistically sadder, tale. This should be his number two song.
Number three...well I only have eight suggestions!
"Remember my unsettled ways.." and peace to all.
