Yes - it's me with a reply to my own post.
I also love Fine As Fine Can Be - I saw GL perform this song in Berkeley, CA in the 70's. He intro'd it by saying it was a song he wrote for his daughter. He then sat down at a piano and played and sang. At least that is how I remember it. I fell in love with him all over again for the tenderness.
Now, if you ask me my favorite song tomorrow it will probably be something different. I can pick a favorite song for every day of the week, for every thing that happens, because it is Monday or Tuesday, and so on. If I had to pick an all time favorite musician it would be Gordon Lightfoot. Just as my dad - I took he and my mom to see GL in Lake Tahoe for their anniversary one year long ago before my mom passed away.
Did I also mention that twice in my life I have heard songs before they were ever released on an album - once it was a GL song and it came to me from the fan in my bathroom in the middle of the night. I know it sounds crazy but I could even sing the words!
