The Watchman's Gone
A Passing Ship
If You Need Me
Never Too Close
The entire Shadows album!
Restless--This song should have been on the radio.
End Of All Time, Harmony, Sometime's I Wish. All 3 of these songs should be playing as I write this.

There are so many talented musicians writing such good music and the public never gets a chance to hear them. Instead they play singers who don't even write their own lyrics, much less the music. If radio stations would bite the bullet and play some new Lightfoot and others, people would love it. You can't hit the ball if you don't swing the bat. People only think they want to hear the crap they play on the radio now because that is what they're fed. It's a vicious cycle I guess.
