Well that sure was misleading! The blurb says
"It is the 1965-1966 season finale for CBC television’s Take 30, and Gordon Lightfoot has been invited to perform at an on-set picnic. He sings a recent composition, A Minor Ballad - "an authentic English folk song that I wrote two weeks ago." Host Paul Soles asks Lightfoot about his recent success with touring and having more of his compositions performed by other artists"
But this clip was only just over one minute and only slighty longer than the obnoxious Canada Post advert that preceded it and Gord sang not one note let alone A Minor Ballad.I played it through twice to make quite sure.C'mon CBC where is the rest??
