Hello everyone-

I was just on Wayne Francis' website and read a shocker.

At the Feb. 17, 2018 concert in Melbourne, Florida, the encore was "Too Many Clues in this Room."

I can't remember reading or seeing this song ever being performed in concert. I have not listened to this song in several years, buried at the end of the Summertime Dream album. But just listened to it again.

All I can think of with this song is that the world is going to hell in a handbasket, and that there are all kinds of signs and warnings out there. Beautiful 12-string rhythm from Gordon and fine Terry Clements guitar work on this song, with an exceptionally long instrumental then fade.

It must be Gordon Lightfoot's commentary on the south Florida school shooting on February 14. Always interesting when Gordon trots out a rare track from his deep catalog.

John- Minnesota
