On the CD Harmony...

[Jesse Joe]

Jenney, I saw a Gordon Lightfoot interview on CMT Canada. I have it on VHS & DVD and Stu Jeffries the interviewer, asked him about Inspiration Lady. And the Poet genius answered it was written for his wife Elizabeth. Maybe you did or did not know that, But just thought I would slip that bit of info to you. Maybe you did know that, but choose to look at it the way you describe it to DQ...Jesse.

Hi, Janice. Thanks for the kind words. I don't post more often because of time limitations (don't know how people like Jesse-Joe and the like find time to do all that posting), and because I know I can get long-winded (it's endemic to the profession). Again, thanks.

This is how I always think of Inspiration Lady as well. To me it is not a person, but the muse itself coming to visit, seeing him through, frustrating and delighting him at the same time. I have to say the video just didn't do it for me, although even it that it did not concentrate on one particular women, but a compilation of many.

DQ, you really should post more often, I enjoy your thoughts and ideas. I've never read Don Quixote, but now will put it on my to do list.
Jenney [/QUOTE]That was cute how it showed his grandbaby.

but interesting to read, DQ, even (especially) the lengthy ones...maybe not everday posting, but a bit more?

(don't know how people like Jesse-Joe and the like find time to do all that posting), Don Quxote, Early Retirement, and the biggest Gordon Lightfoot fan ever, is the secret for me...Jesse.
