I have on a whim just googled gordon lightfoot Australia and found a few items of interest especially
http://www.rhino.com/article/stay-tuned-by-stan-cornyn-gordon-lightfoot
in the comments at the end are two from 2013 by Alexander Mair (who is evidently now the President of MHL Communications Limited who I saw on their Facebook page are in Toronto)
one says rather innacurately
"Stan...I managed Gordon from 1968 to 1976, from before Warners issued their first Lightfoot album to the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
I had heard of Al Mair bfore of course but decided for good measure to Google him and found
