Would Gord do what we suggested?

I really don't know what kind of a person Mr.Lightfoot is in person, or how he feels about mail, but do you think he would ever consider doing anything his fans suggested? For instance, if someone wrote a letter very kindly and politely suggesting that he put the acoustic version of East Of Midnight on his next album, do you think he would give it some thought? I use this as an example because I like the song and I'd like to hear an acoustic recording of it.

He might. If it was more asked and not suggested. He loves his fans and likes to give them what they like...getting a letter to him would be the difficult part I think.

Yes, getting the letter to him would be difficult, especially for me.

I kind of doubt he would put it on an album of new studio material. But he might if he comes thru with that collection of rareities he's mentioned releasing. I think there's a nice version of "Knotty Pine" somewhere where he uses a 12-string acoustic instead of the electric guitar heard on the album.

Last October,I sent out a birthday card to Gordon (as most of you may recall). When I sent it,I realistically expected no reply. Mainly because he had much more important things to concentrate on like getting well. I signed as many names as possible by the way.

"D",having met GL for a brief few minutes in '02,I can honestly say he's quite like the average man. An average man with a little extra than the rest of us,but still,he's down to earth and quite friendly.
He didn't leave the concert hall in a limo or a rolls royce but just a simple tan car.

As for taking our suggestions or questions and turning them to action...I'm sure if he thoughtit was a good enough idea or request,there's about 1/2 a chance he might.
Give it try,ya never know!

Gord, will you play a song for us?

Well I guess THIS will have to do...

lovin' that! You got the whole band there. I just can't tell Rick and Terry apart...

[stationmaster]

Rick's pluckin' the big red bass!

Hey, Gord's not playing his guitar and Mike is missing!

Oh, there's Mike...he had to go!

DMD3, if you'll e-mail me at
matthewbullis@runbox.com
I can send you an acoustic live version of East Of Midnight which I have in mp3. It will be a couple of megs though, so if you're on AOL it shouldn't be a problem, or any other provider which can accept larger attachments.

That accoustic version of EOM is great. I love that song on EOM but love the accoustic version even more. I think I'll have break that out today. It's raining here so perhaps a good day to dig out some Lightfoot rarities.

[LSH]

Where is the acoustic version of EOM available? or is it? I keep hearing about it, but I've only heard him do it in concert, never seen a recording of it.

[TheWatchman]

There is no official recording of it.

[LSH]

Watchman: SIGH. I envy you your acoustic recording of EOM and your rain.
I miss the rain....bring on Autumn!

StationMaster: I don't think I've ever seen Rick move that fast...

[TheWatchman]

Yeah well you can have the rain! Totally messed up my plans today. Ahh well. Kind of nice to have to stay inside and relax for a change.

[LSH]

Would be happy to take your rain. Love it. Too bad we couldn't exchange weather. I'd send you my 85-90 degree temps in a heartbeat.

[TheWatchman]

Deal!

I don't have my own computer yet or my own Email address. I'm only 17, but do you think you will still have it in about 2 or 3 years from now? Maybe then I'll have my own address so I can email you.
