Hi there Sentimental! (Love your name!)

I was just as happy as you were to see there was an actual site about GL and that there were lots of people talking about him too!

I take it you have albums from "Lightfoot!" to "Salute" (as you mentioned). If you'd like to complete that I suggest checking out some "used" or "oldies" record stores in your town or city. That's how I got the girth of my collection together in just 5 months time! I'm all caught up to "Harmony"

Every other recordings have been sort of a "mail order" gift from out of state. I even have just recently acquried "Early Lightfoot" and last year got my hands on Two Tones and some other hard to find songs.

Happy to meet you (in print anyway ). Enjoy the site. Bye!

Ahhhh, the profile - I forgot. I added my email to that also.

I got Early Lightfoot in a sale bin about 15 years ago. I was thrilled. All except for that dang hole punch in the corner of the album. Wish they wouldn't have done that.

I guess when the kids started rolling around, my time for listening pleasure was cut way short. Just tryed to catch a song now and then on the radio and my albums are in some box somewhere. Doesn't mean I've forgotten or don't care, just drifted I guess.

welcome sentimental,
you have seen the man in concert quite a few times that is very good! Hopefully you will see him again soon.


Welcome Sentimental! So happy for you that you found the sight. It is rather like coming home, isn't it? You'll never lack for someone to talk with. It's quite the lively board.
Oh, and you said where did you go wrong? I know of what you speak. My husband is a die-hard Gord Fan, but somewhere our kids went astray.....just dunno.....we took them to his concerts since they were old enough to sit still.

Hope that you REALLY enjoy it here!!!!!

Borderstone - Do you have 'Painter'? I can't find it anywhere. Amazon? Ebay?

Thanks everyone, I DO feel welcome.

Are there any recordings of GL singing Tennessee Stud? I know he didn't write it but I've heard him sing it in concert and I loved his version of it.


Being a horse racing fan, that song became a favorite of mine. It is one of the songs recorded during his Massey stand in 1974, which was taped for eventual release on record. Sadly, it hasn't been released - yet - but Lightfoot has the masters so we can still hope. And the song was performed on the Sunday, a concert that was bootlegged (how someone snuck in a reel-to-reel tape recorder without getting caught is beyond me). That bootleg is sold on Ebay from time to time (there is one up there now).
