He has one song on it that he wrote about Gord, that I thought you'd all enjoy: The Poet

Yes, it is a wonderful song. A few people have said so already, but I think it is much more than that. It's not the first tribute song written to honor Lightfoot, but I think it is by far the best. It is Lightfoot influenced music, without being a copy of any song. It is Travis picked, as are many Lightfoot trademark songs, and J.P. has written beautiful lyrics using many references to Lightfoot songs without being corny. I think it's a rather brilliant song myself.
