I myself am a 21 year old fan of Gordon Lightfoot. I first began listening to him at an early age and that had an impact on me. Like EndlessWire I also play guitar (Both electric and acoustic) and I often find myself playing Gordon's songs (I was playing "Sundown" at a family holiday get together recently). In fact I found this page when looking for guitar tabs for one of Gordon's songs (I have since found them). Also the first album I heard was my dad's Gords Gold album. I have purchased several of Gordon's albums on CD. Unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to see him in concert although I hope to someday. I am open to all kinds of music from CCR to Led Zeppelin to Korn. But I always will listen to and apreciate the music of Gordon Lightfoot.

Look into his shining eyes and if you see a ghost don't be surprised......Listen to the strings. That jangle and dangle while the old guitar sings.
The lake it is said never gives up her dead, when the gales of November come early.
