Thanks for the kind words, I did not expect such a welcome. I merely wanted to share my interpretation of this fine tune with those who might most appreciate it.

In the total constellation of outstanding Lightfoot songs, it does tend to get lost in the shuffle. While perhaps known to those of us who truly appreciate his work, on my gigs it is not one of his most requested songs.

I'm still new to this video posting thing, that track being among the first I did. I was most concerned with keeping my left hand in frame; the settings on vox and guitar were essentially plug in and go. I hope to improve on all aspects of the process in the future.

It excites me to have stumbled upon a community that has the same enthusiasm for Mr. Lightfoot's work that I have had since the late sixties. I plan to spend a lot of time here. Thanks again.
