Gordon Lightfoot

Let's go down to the water's edge?

Niether did John Rickman, (always had the decency to doff his cap on ITV after failing to find a winner) but big John was wise enough to know that a Canadian was a completely sh+t bet.

He was a gent and we only lost 7 single bets as opposed to 63, profitable days, god bless john.

Interesting.

Early Morning Rain is a good song.

Bobby Bare did a great version kincsem

They played "If you could read my mind" at the end of a movie i once saw.

It was quite haunting.

Wonderful songwriter/performer. One of me favourites.

"The Last Time I Saw Her Face" one of the loveliest songs ever written, imo.

Very nicely covered by Glenn Campbell but Gordon's rendition so haunting.

Umpteen other brilliant songs. Quite underrated, imo.

If You Could Read My Mind, one of the greatest songs ever written.

If he is not better recognized in Britain that is the fault of the British people.

If You Could Read My Mind, one of the greatest songs ever written.

Agreed.

Here it is:

I've introduced many nautically-minded friends to GL with the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Love it, LHF. Bobby Sands stole the tune for Back Home in Derry.

Sundown was always my favourite of his, and easy to play on the guitar
