I have so many favorites but reading through the other posts I have decided to mention "Lesson in Love" because this is one that I first heard with my dad and something about the memory of him telling me the story behind it...what a great song. Another favorite has always been "I'm Not Supposed To Care". What beautiful lyrics that perfectly describe a love that is forever, even if it should have ended. Always one of the greats. Then again, which of his songs aren't one of the greats? I grew up listening to Gord and I'm only 18 now. I'm off at college and one of the things I miss most is sitting in our lower level listening to my dad's old Lightfoot albums on our record player. It'll always be a great memory. Oh and can't forget "Poor Little Allison"...I was almost named after her but wasn't. When I have a girl I have already decided to carry on the love of Gord and name her Allison. Thanks for posting such a great topic about such a GREAT singer/songwriter/performer! Peace -Kat
