Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Grass Valley, California Posts: 21 Hey Jesse Joe, I've noticed that you sometimes post newspaper clippings of Gord articles. They copy great and of course, I'm a collector of all things Gord. In other words, feel free to post others of your probable vast collection. I'd certainly appreciate it. T.C. Anyone here can post old clippings, {etc} of our guy if you wish too... Might be interesting to discover more about: 'Gordon Lightfoot' !!! :) |

Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
Jesse Joe,
I find these to be fascinating......thanks for sharing them. I'm especially taken by the Peter Goddard article that attempts to delve into his psyche. It's kind of eerie, but it also correlates with my perception of Lightfoot at that time. Was/is Peter Goddard a well respected journalist ? |
Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
Your very welcome RM, Im glad you find these old articles fascinating, and Im happy to post them. Im sure there are others that have lots to share also, hope they do. As for Peter Goddard, I know nothing about him. Google might have something though ?

Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !

Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
Assuming I have the right Peter Goddard, he is definitely accomplished :

Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
I think you got the right Peter Goddard. Because the article for Gord turning 40 was in Maclean's Magazine.

What do teenagers know anyway ?
This has to be one of the best threads ever.......As a 19-20 year old, I struggled to find any info at all on this mysterious artist whose music touched home somewhere. Again, I appreciate the enlightenment. |

This one here I had to scan it twice, so that you fine folks who care to view them, dont have to read it sideways. :biggrin: :eek: :)
|
Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
JJoe- there should be an option to turn the scan clockwise or counter-clockwise before you save it..little arrows or something..then you don't have to scan 2x..
I found that out after I'd scanned lots of things for Florian that he has here at "Char's Vault".. lol |
Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
Yes I know Char and that's exactly what Im doing. You see I scan the entire page from my photo albums, because there are some articles that I cant remove without damaging them. And I can only place the photo album pages one way on the glass scanner. So I scan some twice that have articles positioned in 2 directions on the same page. And then I click either right, left or 180 degrees. I hope you understand what Im trying to say here... :biggrin:
|
Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
I think Char's treasure vault should be posted here. Notice Char there are 2 you did not turn clockwise... :)

Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
Thanks JJ for the scans-they also answered my "speech impediment" question on another post.
FYI for less experienced computer users who are viewing the articles, if you hold down the "CTRL" button and hit the + or - buttons, the browser will zoom in or out, allowing you a closer look. Or if your mouse has a dial built in you can use that instead of the + or -. |
Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
Thanks Next Saturday,
I always have to double right click my mouse, in order for those scans to be readable. But I didn't know about the "CTRL" button and hit the + or - buttons. I tried it and you can bring the image very close and way far, but I find it's not as sharp as only clicking the mouse twice. May be only me though ? But it's something new for me, thanks again for sharing this. :) |

Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
Nice to see the newspaper clippings. I'm not one to save newspaper clippings but once like 12-15 years ago, I clipped one about this place in Superior that was planning on making a place for outdoor concerts. I think I still have it stashed away. Later Gordon Lightfoot played there. I don't even know why I clipped it. I might have been having some kind of a premonition. They don't even have concerts there anymore.

Re: Newspaper clippings of Gord !
I thought the "Relaxing With Lightfoot" article was quite enjoyable. The writer is an obvious fan, and presents his thoughts with a great sense of Canadian pride ("the man is what he is, and he is one of us").
He mentions 'new' songs from Shadows. The only single that got radio play in my parts was "Baby Step Back". How about in Canada ? |
