AM 740, a Toronto radio station, has posted its "Zoomer 300" list of "the essential classic songs in a Zoomer's music library".

AM 740's website (www.am740.ca) states that "[t]his list features the key recording artists and their most enduring music at the core of AM 740; including big band swing classics, crooners, early rockers, legendary stars, and singer-songwriters -- Americans, Brits, and outstanding Canadians as well."

Four Lightfoot songs - "Canadian Railroad Trilogy", "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sundown" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - are included on the "Zoomer 300" list.

AM 740's website encourages people to vote for their 10 favourite songs among the 300. AM 740's website states that AM 740 will "play the list, in order, during Easter Week in April". (You can listen to AM 740 on the radio or via the internet.)

I have already voted (and included the four Lightfoot songs among my 10 favourites), but it isn't too late for others to vote.

If the following link to the list doesn't work for you, you should be able to access the list fairly easily by going to AM 740's website (listed above):
