It seems to me that the people who are drawn to the music and lyrics of Gordon Lightfoot and others of the same type; are very special people. They don't just hear the music in their ears, they hear it in their heart.

I play guitar and sing (guitar= Martin DM; voice = deep bass). But I sing ala Harry Chapin; "A BETTER WAY TO BE".) No. I am not conceret quality. I know that.

Gordon?? My most favorite song of all my life is "IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND". You really don't want to know why.

This could be a GREAT forum for all people who love not only Gordon, but all folk type music.

Bless you all

As long as I'm a ghost; that you can't see.

wsm you are, of course, correct in your assumption that GL fans are special intuitive people http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I also poccess a Martin D18. great tone, plus a Gibson J30. Harry Chapin also rates high, Flowers Are Red and Story Of A Life rate quite high IMHO A Better Place To Be is stand out.

Loudon Wainwright's Your Mother And I is a very touching song. Jimmy Buffett's He Went To Paris all good songs that I just had to learn on the guitar. I guess anybody who plays (acoustic) guitar and hears these songs just has to sing them. I have just discovered Bob Dylan's Blind Willie McTell The list goes on.

Glad you are here Steve. Perhaps the quality of a person (the way I read people) is whether they listen with their heart or with their head.
