This is very interesting, Geo,{Steve?]

I find myself, that in most stores that they sell Cd's. It is sometimes hard to find Gordon Lightfoot. Even if you know he's in there somewhere's.

Sam The Record Man, was my favo(u)rite store. Today in Moncton , NB. What used to be Sam's is now Frank's Music. And fortunetly for me, Frank's son, now runs the store, and he is a major Gordon Lightfoot fan. No problems there to find any new Lightfoot stuff. Even Cd's I wont find anywhere's else like, 'Sunday Concert -PLUS-,' and others that come from, Germany, England, aso. Frank's got em.

I never go to the mall, without paying Frank's a visit. And I buy a Lightfoot CD, even if I already have all the songs on another one, as Im sure many Corfidians also do. :D

But the big chain stores, it is very hard to find Lightfoot. And the very young people that work there, sometimes look at you funny, when you say Gordon Lightfoot Cd's please?

I started in the 70's, and I still do it today, when I find the Lightfoot Cd's, I re-arrange all of them, and make sure they are on plain view, for everyone to see.

They are in the Light Sounds, Light Rock, Easy Listening, Rock, even in Country, and more. He should be in a category of his own, [CANADA'S BEST SINGER SONGWRITER OF ALL TIME.], :D on top of every others, in Big Bold Black Letter's. lol... Jesse.
