Dear alltaupe,

I share your feelings for the song "On The High Seas." Such an incredibly beautiful melody coupled with wonderful lyrics. My only criticism of the song is that it is too short! GL should have written a third verse! I attended the Cerritos concert last month and was so surprised he played it. I have seen Lightfoot 14 or 15 times over the past 35 years and I had never heard him perform it in concert before. It was quite a treat to hear it live! I hope you get to hear it at Massey...and yes, it is wonderful to find kindred spirits that share an appreciation for the musical treasure that is Gordon Lightfoot.
