Nice to know I'm not alone!
Glen Campbell was my first favorite...
then Neil Diamond...
then Mr. Lightfoot.
Later I got into Social Distortion...
Third Eye Blind...
Audioslave.
Now I almost exclusively listen to Gordon.

Destiny Intruding, I posted this many times before in the past, but will do it again, since you and I have the same first favorite.
It was all Glen Campbell, for me, until I discovered Lightfoot's music...Jesse.

Hey Jesse-Joe
As you may know...Glen is still touring these days
and can still sing and play guitar as great as ever!
(I'm still waiting for Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour
series to be released on DVD).
The one talent Glen does not possess, however,
is that of songwriter...
and we all know who is King of that world!

I think Glen Campbell is one of the greatest singers of our era. My parents and I never missed an episode of Goodtime Hour. It was one of my favorite shows as a kid.
Didn't Glen have a bout with alcoholism a few years back? It seems to me I read an article about him passing out in a ditch and nearly dying.
I'm glad to hear he's back at it again.

Yes Cathy, he was also a cocaine user. He admitted to that in the biography they did on him, a few years ago, on CMT. I saw many bio's on signers. There always interesting to watch, makes an hour go by real fast. It's also amazing to hear about the lives that they have led, not always rosie. But then again who's life is all rosie? Maybe Paris Hilton?? :D

Destiny Intruding, that's nice to hear, Glen was not a songwriter, your right there. But what a signer, also one of the greatest guitar player around. Except for Doyle Dykes, who is probably "The Best." And I would really love to see the Goodtime Hour again. Im like Cathy I never missed an episode. As far as touring, I doubt he will ever come my way, in Atlantic Canada. I feel he would have already done so. But we never know.
Another guy that I would like to see in concert, would be John Mellencamp. He was supposed to come this way a few years back, but then he had his heart attack.

Hey Cathy...I checked out your music on your site
and your version of "Song For A Winter's Night"
(complete w/bells!) made my eyes water up.
You sound very real and sincere...Thanks!
Jesse-Joe: Glen will be in concert on August 28th
in Vancouver at the Pacific National Exhibition...
is that anywhere close to Atlantic Canada?
(Please forgive my poor geographical knowledge
...I have never been to Canada...
but would really like to someday soon)

Just an anecdote about Glen Campbell,
When I was attending junior college (dorm resident), the rec room's TV would be tuned to the preference of the person who got there first. I don't remember the day of the week it aired, but I would try to be first in line just to watch the "Goodtime Hour". The alternative was "That Space Show", as the football players called it (referring to "Lost in Space"). If I happened to win, they would stay and watch. Great entertainment.

Maybe we stirred something up here...(?!)
Glen Campbell is currently performing Gordon's "If You Could Read My Mind" in concert!
Fans are raving about it on Glen's fan forum...

Thanks, Destiny. I think that version was from one of the Caffe Lena shows a few of us newsgroupers put on.
You should hear the version that me and Bob Doidge did. It will be out on CD this September, I hope.

And Bob Doidge, is not a nobody. Working on Gord's Harmony CD. Our Cathy is talented, and seems to be a great person as well...Jesse.

Thanks, Jesse. You're check's in the mail. :D
Today is the first anniversary of my brain aneurysm. There have been more than a few times that I thought I'd never make it a year!
A good friend of mine, and the brother of my older sister's ex-husband (I bet that line will stump a few of you) had a brain aneurysm three weeks ago, and is already back home. Luckily, he didn't suffer from much brain damage. Hmmmm... maybe neither of us got a lot of brain damage because all the beer we drank in the '70 already killed most of our brain cells.

I never had a "favorite" singer/band, until now. There never was anything rising to the top, until now. Sure, I heard Gordon Lightfoot songs on the radio and I liked them. It was just this past winter, while I searched Amazon, a friend suggested I check out GL. I became interested and shortly after, I purchased the United Artist release at the local music shop because it was so darn cheap. As I listened to it on the way home, I began to get excited. Each and every song was truly a quality song. (no duds!) That started me off on a run of purchases of every original album GL put out. I play a CD almost every day. Gordon Lightfoot is my first favorite, and may he be my only. Amen.

Well your mostly welcome Cathy, I hope you made the check for what we agreed upon? {LOL} As for the brain cells, I too have burned some, in the mid 70's...What was your name again! :D
