Borderstone ( and all ) I liked your suggestions, all of them. Wouldn't it be nice
to hear something of quality again from any
from the group you mentioned? I have been accused of "living in the 70's" by all who know me well, but I think that the overall
talent from people like GL, Fogelberg, Al Stewart, Carol King, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Carley Simon, and several others who
I didn't even mention will never be surpassed. We may never hear another folk singer of these levels again in our lifetimes!!! It's such a shame too because they are not getting any younger and many have already passed away. It's nice to go to my Cd case and bring someone back to life anytime I want!!!
Borderstone, you and I could have one good Cd party!!! I just know it!!!I have been
listening to music with my seven year old daughter and she is hooked. She loves GL
and alot of the artists we mentioned above.
She just wrote GL a letter and we put it in the mail on Saturday. She would be so thrilled to get a response. Thanks to this site I no longer feel like an outcast for my taste in music!!! Keep the messages going. It's breathing life in to me every time I log on!!!!

To Titan:I think we could have one heck a musical time! Thing is though,I mostly have vinyl & Cassesttes but I'm sure that's just as good! I sent Gord a get well card,I hope he answers too! Outta time,Bye!

Titan:You know,musically,I would always "live in the '70's". My favorite shows are in re-runs (but it's almost not the same now that I'm older.) From June '70 to June '80 I was in my childhood and everything (despite the opinion of the more prudish out there) was pretty tame & safe compared to today. That is in the field of entertainment. I wouldn't want the bad things about the 70's to return for anything! I just wish I could relive that time over again. I feel there was never a better time to be a kid. Being an adult has it's perks but innocence was bliss. Borderstone,outta here and Alberta Bound! :d

Gordon Lightfoot and Enya would be an interesting combination.

How about Lightfoot and Arlo Guthrie? Or,an updated Traveling Wilburys with Lightfoot,Dylan,Guthrie,and Chris Isaak ?Well,we can dream!

Oma,

A guy at work was teasing me when I told him last year that we were going to see Lightfoot. He then said, as his version of an friendly insult, "you probably like Enya"! He almost fell over when I said, my wife just bought me her latest album. I agree they'd be something on the same stage.

I would venture for an interesting blend of music, lyrics, styles, and vocal textures, the following three male and female artists:

Lightfoot and Tom Rush
Lightfoot and Eric Andersen
Lightfoot and Richie Havens
Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell
Lightfoot and Linda Ronstadt
Lightfoot and Stevie Nicks

One other team that would make for great music is:

Lightfoot and Buffett

BillW, Your wife has good taste!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

As far as Gordon Lightfoot and duets go...He always sings duets with me in the car!!!! Every day we perform for the other commuters on the tollway. I'm sure all of my fellow commuters can't wait for a nice traffic jam in the Spring (my car windows will be down...the acoustics will be great!), that way they can hear every note!!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Wow!!!! Those are some great choices. Yes!!
We can all dream. It would be great to see
something like this happen.
I do have one more. More of a trio.

Gord, myself and Borderstone. Sure to be a sellout!!!

Borderstone 03-16-2003 05:18 PM

I know this topic's getting long in the tooth but I just thought of 2 more and I can't believe I didn't mention them before!! How could I possibly have forgotten Seals & Crofts or England Dan & John Ford Coley? Because if with America it's like C,S,N & Y...then with the above mentioned,heck,that's like The Eagles! In fact,if Gord ever wants an opening act and wants fans' opinions,then those would be my choices along with Gerry Rafferty and Al Stewart (that's all on the ssame bill!) Kind of like a folk/art Woodstock. Since I never could have gone to the original,this kind of show would be the equal for me. Borderstone,outta here,Alberta Bound and begging for this to come true! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
