Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - Total running time of Lightfoot entire song catalogue

Just to enter a closer degree of magnitude - Lightfoot is over 300 songs recorded... at John's average of 3 minutes - we are closer to 900 minutes +/- variarion in EXACT song count - which I believe Sir John did considerable research on for Stonewall/4LANE, and the Lightfoot song average time.

I think one easier answer would be - many of us have Lightfoot entire catalogues on hard drive, so that we may burn a custom compilation at will. But mine is shy an album or two. So my time total is way short in my one mega-Light (tm marcus registradus) file ! Wish I could help more completely, John - but I am quite confident of the 300+ songs John reported at behest of the Vistory studio's personnel.
