Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Hi everyone! Just found this on the Wayne Francis site under the 'news' section!

Lightfoot will be joining Greg Godovitz and Bob Reid in studio - and taking calls - for a full hour on Rock Talk on CFRB 1010 radio on Sunday December 16 at 6 PM eastern time. The show will be repeated on Monday December 17 at 1 AM. Listen online at www.cfrb.com.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

cfrb is a great station for so many varieties of 'talk' topics..gardening, law/human rights/social topics..
http://www.godobilly.com/welcome.htm Greg G. was a founder of a group I remember from when i was a kid - Fludd and then the hard rock GODDO - which I never cared for. He lived the lifestyle and wrote a book..when Rompin Ronnie says:" Greg has stories that would embarass Caligula" ya gotta know he's lived the sex, dugs, rock and roll life..!!

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Thanks for sharing this Dakota Rose. :)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Thanks for the heads up... Fludd has a Lightfoot connection as well... Fludd is actually the beginnings of the Canadian rock group Saga. Saga's former drummer Steve Negus told me in an email a year ago that he grew up listening to Gord's music at his parent's place in Hamilton.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

I tried listening to the station just now and had no luck (and I've got a pretty up to date Dell. I'll try again, but hope it gets posted somewhere.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

We are being hit by a major storm here in Toronto and I'd imagine there'd be a chance that Lightfoot wouldn't venture out to drive to the CFRB broadcast location..but he just might! I'll be listening and try to get a call in..

it's CRAZY snowing! and crazy blowing.. I for one am staying inside - except to go out and shovel my walks and driveway later today..

I have mentioned that I HATE winter haven't I??

Last year at this time (the last couple of weeks as well) the weather was very mild and some days only a coat was required - even in the evenings.. The Massey shows period of time was also unseasonably warm last year.
We had summer last so long this year and then it went immediately into winter ...
sheesh!!

I was interviewed by phone on CFRB on The Motts show back in 2001 I believe regarding some school issues/extra curricular activities being withdrawn in local high schools and students being suspended for staging a walk-out in protest-my son being one of them. (we were in a protest march outside the high school at the time I did the interview) Parents formed a coalition and were instrumental in getting the extras back and suspensions dropped after lots of tv/print/radio/meetings with gov.officials/school board etc.)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Char - I heard about your winter storm on the weather and also wondered if Lightfoot would be able to make it to the station. I'll be listening!!

I listened to the station last night and again this morning on line and it seems to be working fine.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

compounding the problem of so much snow and wind is that during the night there was a few hours of freezing rain so that's under the snow..traffic cameras on highways etc. show practically nobody out on the roads anywhere. transit systems of buses/streetcars and trains are all running late or not at all and the airport has dozens of cancellations..
I'm sure Gord is out shoveling snow as we speak..
lol
;)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Well, we're shoveling here in central NY: snow, sleet, more snow, more sleet, now some lake effect fluffy stuff, more snow to come before 7 a.m. tomorrow when it's expected to end here. Best approach - go out every three to four inches to shovel it off. If you wait too long, it's too heavy (my arms are still aching from the 6-7" we got last week.) Fortunately it's not enough (yet) that we're wondering where the heck to put the stuff, and there's a warm-up predicted for the end of the week, to the mid-30s. I don't mind the snow; it's the ice I hate. I wiped out twice a few days ago, and have the bruising to show for it.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Here in Moncton, at 2:16 pm not a snowflake yet. But you can tell it's coming.

Char I did watch the Barenaked Ladies last night on Bravo, and will be listening for that GL interview, if he makes it. ;)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Hi Char,

It is not exactly hot here but you and Liza always have a room at my inn. Do you like homemade soup and cornbread?

DSR

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

I like any temp that is above 40F and if anyone wants to prepare food for me I'm more than willing to eat it!
We just came in from shovelling..We've had 10 - 12 inches since 6 a.m. and it's coming down just as hard a it was at that time..Some drifts were up to 18 inches..Pretty windy at times..Not really cold tho-that's why there's so much snow..if it dropped in temp it would stop..if it went up we'd get rain..
lol
if this is any indication of what the next 4 months will be like I better win a lottery RIGHT NOW!!!
;)
here's a few pics - before, during and after.. (daughter Lisa)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Looks like heaven to me, Char! :)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

In Ontario heaven, and proudly displaying the Canadian flag, a true Canuck. :clap: :clap: :)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Lisa you do the shoveling, and mom will take the pics. :biggrin:

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

LOL - hey - I wasn't born yesterday ya know?
lol

I always fly the flag..new one on July 1 if it's faded or tattered....

Getting ready to listen to CFRB...and Lightfoot..

Gord is in transit to the studio and will do the interview by phone - from the car I assume.. I am on hold to speak with him..
just spoke with him about Barry, internet fans, more dates for 2008, possible shows out west and down east to the Maritimes..lots of fun..
;)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Way to go Char the first caller, your really someting else ... :)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

way to go, char:)

now, I expect you to share that prize!

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

LOL!
I am still on hold...lol

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Maybe back in Atlantic Canada. Right On !

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Hey Char, just heard you on the radio through the magic of the internet. Burton Cummings on with him now. cool.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Burton Cummings is online now, calling in from Los Angeles! His favorite album is A Painter Passing Through.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

And he likes Uncle Toad a lot.

Very cool Burton Cummings..

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Great job Char. I was just thinking that you were doing as professional a job as the two hosts in speaking with Gord, when they broke in and acknowledged the same.

Just a suggestion - those who feel so inclined, contact the 'Rock Talk' hosts and express your thoughts, excitement, appreciation, etc. Perhaps they could be convinced to have Gord on again sometime in the near future. They have a comments page just for such a purpose below.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

and a nice shout out for Wayne's site..I mentioned it as well..
perhaps some audio might be archived..
I looked at pics at the site and now recognize the hosts from last Sunday at Barry's memorial - had no idea who they were tho.. I do remember the group Fludd..mostly cuz I had a friend whose last name was Flood..lol
great to hear Burton..even if he had to wait his turn..lolol

I have to pick up my prize package at CFRB-2 St.Clair at Yonge St. It's 2 blocks north of the EMP office..

Don't know what the prize package is..forgot to ask..oops...

some previous interviews are archived, including Burton..

only coincidence (or good taste), but my kid seems to like it lots, also :)

Goddo was the 2nd band I ever saw play live, close up ...it was at my little high school
...the 1st was a year prior when the Stampeders (ramona, ramona...) playing for us, fun

good idea, Yuri

well char, our vehicles now have 1" to spare on each side of the long lane in order to get out

sleep well:)

....I'll bet GL is smart and has someone do his large driveway....and it probably isn't Mer!

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

When they mentioned Barry Harvey, did you folks notice he called him Harv...

So I finally get a look at Uncle Toad... Thanks JJ :)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Does anyone happen to have MP3 of the interview they could share with me :-)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Hi davevoeltz,

Your new here welcome, hope you share your Lightfoot stories with the group. :)

Same here as davevoeltz, I would appreciate it if anyone has that interview. :whistle: :rolleyes: :)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

How do you convert a digital recording of it to MP3 ??

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Beats me Char, Sir John Fowles are you there, and can you answer to Lady Char. ?

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Thanks for the welcome. While I'm new to this group, I am a long time member of the Gord Newsgroup. Too bad its mostly spam nowadays. This looks like an excellent replacement.

Many of you probably have some of the videos I recorded off of my satellite dish years back from Canadian stations. The Juno Awards, Governor's Awards, Gzowski Interview, New Years Eve 1999, House of Blues Special, Alan Thicke interview, and others. I have them on video tapes but will have to convert them to DVD so they last a long time :-)

Regarding the interview, if you have a digital recording, I can convert the file to MP3 for all to share.

Anyway, glad to be here and meeting some old friends again. Hopefully Derek, Doug, Shirley, and the rest of the old gang are here as well.

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

1) you can use windows (or apple) recording software to capture the stream as a wave file. most soundcards come with recording software.

2) then you use a program like dbpoweramp to convert it to mp3.

3) then you can use a file sharing site like www.yousendit.com or www.sendspace.com to upload it on the internet for the rest of us

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Joveski:

I have replay radio on my computer that does a super job of recording off of my sound card. Unfortunately I missed the program and can't record it after the fact :-)

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

Wow Dave Voeltz himself!! .
I remember reading some of your postings when I first started reading the Newsgroup regularly back in 1997.
As you pointed out the once almighty and vibrant Newsgroup has slid inexorably towards oblivion , since very few even
bother to post there anymore except cretins. I am just a tad surprised that it has taken you 8 years to find corfid though!!
because Florian did announce its creation on the Newsgroup back in 1999. See:-
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.m...e24483fcb705c3
doing a search within the alt.music.lightfoot newsgroup now on your surname reveals 102 postings, however the most recent was way back in 2002 when you replied to a Minnesotan thread started by John Wicklund aka Seafarer62 at:-
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.m...e24483fcb705c3
so you have not helped keep the NG going very much!!
and many from 1997/8/9 refer to your generous and much appreciated disemination of rare videos. good on yer!!
Yes we have a few of yours here courtesy of I believe Yuri.
I was particularly interested to see that you used to use a stereo Betamax.Do you still have it??? I have a pair of commercial stereo Betamax tapes
one by Stevie Nicks
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/images/white_wing_dove.jpg
scan of front cover as previously displayed by me in a great corfid thread at:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread...ighlight=nicks
the other is the Mac's Mirage tour but I have only ever had (as now) a mono Betamax recorder . I would therefore ask you to digitise them for me one day. but you would be of no help as my two tapes are in PAL format . Oh well nice thought or could you extract the stereo sound track regardless?? Probably not because as well as the incompatible colour coding method a PAL tape would only play back at a speed and/or different frame rate and my mono and PAL Betamax is of course unable to output a stereo sound signal
By the way John got here before you and posts here as surprise surprise, seafarer62
of the others you mentioned Doug Kirk posts here regularly as "doug", as occasionally does Anne Aspry (now in OK member name here "anneOK"),and the "Grande Dame" Shirley Hoggard also from OK of course is registered here and is now 70 see:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/member.php?u=14920
but has yet to post anything on corfid perhaps you could send her a private message and get her to write something here
I once got into trouble on the newsgroup trying to persuade young Kidd to come here and try to display a picture , infra dig on the non binary newgroup of course and I know Ed Mullen keeps away now from both the NG and corfid. Others here from the NG here include our most charmant Moderator personage CHar and Jenney and Tim Quinn.I am sure we all extend a very warm welcome to you Dave and look forwards to seeing much posting from you in future. There are some great personalities here and new fans appear every week so don't feel too bad that you have only just "got it", what kept you so long??? Better late than never eh?

Re: Lightfoot on CFRB Radio Sunday
 

I had hoped that Gord's interview would be online by now but no its not (yet)
Perhaps CHar could contact her mate (Greg) at CFRB to try to get Gord's interview included on
http://www.cfrb.com/node/563961
I see the following luminaries are there now:-
Sylvia Tyson
Roger McGuinn (The Byrds)
Micky Dolenz (The Monkees)

Denny Doherty ( Mama's and Papa's)
Stewart Copeland (The Police)
Ronnie Hawkins
Geoff Kulawick (Linus Entertainment)
I expect that Gord was asked if they could archive it but in the absence of Barry Gord probably said (as ever too modestly),. "no nobody will will want to hear that"!!
We managed to catch the 1AM repeat I and noted a caller named "Ray" from somewhere in the Tronno area who spouted on about a song he had composed called "lightfootin'."
This was undoubtedly one of the extremely rare non spam posters on the stoopid Yahoo fan club group Ray Murray his lyrics only are at:-
