The Boneyard
The United States of America owns and operates more military and civil service aircraft than the next five nations combined. When US planes reach the end of their service lives, they are sent to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. Home to the most aircraft in any one place on earth, Davis-Monthan scraps, reconditions and places retired planes into storage as a source of spare parts and as the nation's aircraft reserve. A unique, fascinating and surreal place, Davis-Monthan is popularly known by its nickname, "The Boneyard."

North Florida: A Southern Symphony
zhlédnutí 32Před 4 měsíci
A journey of music and imagery across the length and breadth of the true "southern" Florida the part of the state that lies roughly north of a line drawn from Crystal River on the Gulf to New Smyrna Beach on the Atlantic. From here, the further north you go the more "southern" the state becomes, demographically, geographically, culturally and historically. Yet, even though there has always been...
The Last Dreadnought
zhlédnutí 9Před 4 měsíci
In 1906, the British launched the most advanced warship ever built to that time. Named "Dreadnought" "Fear Nothing" the warship was larger, faster, more heavily armed, longer-ranged and more technically sophisticated than any other battleship afloat, and rendered every warship in the world obsolete overnight. "Dreadnought" gave her name to an entire new type of battleship, and kindled a frenzie...

When Your Wife Gives You A Steamy Surprise For Your Birthday

For my birthday this year my wife surprised me with a day trip on the steam excursion train, "The River City Express," from our home town in Paraparaumu, New Zealand, 144 kilometers north to Whanganui, where we took a river cruise aboard the Waimarie, the last coal-powered river paddle steamer. For this historian, railfan and technophile, it was a wonderful gift, made perfect by sharing the exp...

Saving Galactica
zhlédnutí 39Před 5 měsíci
For most people, if they know anything of the story of Battlestar Galactica, it is that the ship protected a small, rag-tag convoy of vessels carrying the last survivors of the human race, as they desperately tried to escape genocide at the hands of man's own creation, an AI robotic species known as "Cylons." But, in reality, this story is just a fragment of Galactica's long and illustrious car...

Hell's Comin' With Me

I heard this song for the first time today, and immediately thought of Sherman's "March To The Sea." So, I had to sit down and make this.
Waylon Jennings version of Thats what you get for lovin me is great. His own version of Cotton Jenny is better than Ann Murray's!
❤ Gordon 🙌👏👊
TONY RICE - Sby do a similar on his near-equal career, some 50 albums. Gone.
Some Joni Miychell is The Quintessential CDN songwriter ...or has she skipped her rootz as if in the "Americanization of Emily" .... (?).
His song 'Stay Loose' deserves a high ranking , although it didn't do as well as we think it should have. It really cuts through the morass of relationships, and the inevitable grinding disappointments that people endure . His message: With hurt and the agony of loss, it's important for a person see the other side and realise that life will have it's ups and downs. Stay Loose, in time , things should get better. The melody and beautiful harmonies are unique and just mind altering. We rarely hear songs like this on the airwaves anymore. They should play it everyday, especially these days.
Sexy, sweet, and 83, WOW so great 👍😃 Darling, I love you, Please be safe my love Bob Dylan, Elizabeth ❣️🙏🎙️📻🎶🎹🎩🎧🎵🖌️🎨🌹🌹🍦🍨
There's no way to describe the impact this humble Canadian has had on the music industry. From world renown musicians to the everyday Joe, his incomparable poetry and incredible music touches us all like very few others. I love you, Gordon Lightfoot.
Excellent job on this documentary. His death over a year ago was a hard one to take. He just seemed that he'd carry on forever. I wasn't aware of the large impact he had on so many fellow singer songwriters, and I probably should've appreciated how good his lyrics, music and recordings actually were. He was everywhere it seemed in my youth (I'm 67), maybe that familiarity caused me to gloss over the skills. On listening now after he's gone and having taken the songs for granted.....I'm startled by how incredibly good the musicianship is, and the production level on these records are fantastic. Well I guess better late than never. What a prodigious talent and he was smart enough to surround himself with superb talent as well!
I think you're right on the money that his longevity made it easy to overlook his skills and his influence on modern music; that, and he was never one to play the celebrity card or try to translate his talent or success into a narcissistic effort to glorify himself or seize the media and entertainment business spotlight. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it added to your appreciation of Gordon and his genius. Thanks for watching, and for the feedback.
The words that haunt in the song Edmond Fitsgerld are Does anyone know where the love of God ges !!!when the gales of November come early.The lake it is said never gives up her dead when gales of Noember come early.😢😢❤❤❤
Thank you for honouring Gord.
You are very welcome, and it was a bittersweet pleasure to do so. His music was such a part of my life that I couldn't have NOT done something. Thank you for watching, and for commenting, and may his words and music always live on in you.
lOVE gORDEN lIGHTFOOT! EVERTHING
This is AMAZING 👏. Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 ❤️ And Rest Easy Gordon Lightfoot
Thank you for watching, and I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Happy Canada Day, indeed.
Ok, besides Lloyd Robertson, who are the other interviewers?? I’m having trouble putting names to faces!!! Thanks
In 1976 I was 16 yo and starving and wound in Seattle to The Center and had my 6-string so as a Busker by the fountains just looking to make enough to buy me a cheap meal and have a cheap hotel with a bed and a shower. All I knew ere Gordon songs and did my best. Made a few hundred over a weekend of cash dollars and coins but my own troubadour life cut short with a 10-year stretch in prison where I had to lean many new lessons. GL has been a lifelong hero of mine I've seen him live maybe I think 10x in past 45 years and treasure each time. He gave me hope.
Thank you for sharing your story. Music can speak to us, and change us, like few other things; it can give us hope when nothing else can. I am glad that Gordon's life and work spoke to you, and gave you comfort when you needed it. May it remain ever so. Thank you for watching, and commenting.
I’ve been an American fan of Gordon Lightfoot since I was 14. I’ve always recognized him as a troubadour, from the stories his songs told. Thanks for sharing this most accurate description and more information than I’d known. You’ve done a beautiful job here.
You are very welcome, and thank you for watching and commenting. i'm glad the video did honor to him in your eyes, and that it helped give you a deeper appreciation and understanding for this exceptional talent and human being.
I first saw Gordon Lightfoot at the Fillmore East in 1963, where he played "In the Early Morning Rain" and have followed his music ever since, while living in four different continents. His songs saw me through some tough times, with the words of his songs telling me, "You're not alone--we all have our bad times". Goodbye, Gordon Lightfoot, you were one of a kind.
Beautiful video and a great song! RIP Gordon Lightfoot.
Thank you for this. I have not seen a meteor in forever. Too many clouds or lights for the "showers."
You are very welcome, and thanks for watching and commenting. It is a sadness and a tragedy, in a way, of our modern, advanced world, that the wonders of the heavens are either so frequently obscured by the light which turns our night to day, or so frequently ignored or forgotten by those too busy, or too focused on things before them, to look up and lose themselves in the stars.
God bless you Gordon may you Rest In Peace . I love your music I had never heard of you until my American Air Force husband introduced me to you . We dated to your music in the 80S we love you ❤
Btw we have been married for 38 years your music is. Times less
A Canadian legend...
Another amazing and phenomenal video by Feral Lutheran Productions. I am always overwhelmed by these video productions!
Thank you, Dennis! I was very happy with the way this turned out. Glad you enjoyed it!
I walked 30 miles in 10 hours with an 80 pound load. This trek seems both impossible. Hats off to those that tried!
I hear you. The longest I ever tackled was a 26-mile round-trip hike up Columbia Gorge and across the mountains. Fortunately my pack was only about 10 pounds or so, though. I was pretty impressed I completed that; I can't even imagine how grueling the Revenant must be.
Not even if I was being chased by Wargs. (Great video - informative with excellent blending of source material to tell the story - especially the musical choices)
Thank you! I sourced about every bit of video I think there is out there for this one. And I am glad you enjoyed the musical choices -- I thought they were perfect, but you never know if others will, as well.
He was a gift. When I was a teenager saw him at the Riverboat. So talented and leaves a beautiful gift of Canadiana. Unforgettable
In Yorkville? Lucky you. Legendary time for Yorkville, it sure has changed.
Gripping. Never a huge fan... but never changed the channel either. What a talent... what a Man.
What a legand...Wow....love his music.
oh man did you ever nail it ! my favorite gordon song brought to life by incredible images. just perfect.
Thank you! Very glad you watched and enjoyed it!
From Scotland, glorious song for Canada
All those people in these pictures are now "too silent to be real"
Indeed. May they live on in memory and history, whenever and wherever this music is played.
In reference to Gordon talking about his first divorce...he is shown with 3 women but only the first 2 are his wife. The third woman, whom he's standing beside, is a singer/songwriter. I don't recall her name 🤔
Thanks for your service to all of the people that made this happen will miss you. The song brought tears to me loved it one of my favorites
This is a wonderfully 'painted' tribute from a wide palette of interview and performance videos and stills that presents a beloved troubadour full spectrum (as Gord would want it all shown) and was a delight to watch. Thank you for your work on this! Shades of Ken Burns here for sure.
Thank you very much for watching, and for your comments. It especially means a lot to me that you think Gordon would have approved, and that you appreciated my intent and desire to show him for the whole of his experience, life and evolution both as a musician and a human being. To me, it is precisely these things, and the complexity of humanity itself, that mark the best troubadours and make their work truly sing.
Great dive into the photo and film archives set against the rousing and yet melancholic strains of Waltzing Matilda. "Cheerio Uncle Denny," indeed.
Gordon says The Wreck being a hit was a fluke but I believe this was a story the Lord wanted told, by Gordon Lightfoot. After all, it was God who gifted him with the ability to write such beautiful music. As Alec Baldwin said in the documentary, Gordon sang poems

I just found you Feral Lutheran. Great stuff!
It's good to be found! Thank you for watching, and for leaving a supporting comment. They mean a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed "Homecoming," and I hope you find more here that will resonate with you.
Great video!
Thank you, and thank you for watching! If you like this trailer for my channel, and are up for a longer video, I suggest "The Wonder." Again, thank you for watching and subscribing.
MY BIG BROTHER'S ALL TIME FAVORITE GREAT VIDEO PERFECT FOR THE SONG ❤❤❤ GARY LEWIS COWDEN WAR VETERAN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It is a wonderful song; very glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching and commenting!
some people have a pathway to the Divine, Gordo is one of those people
Gordon is the biggest musical influence in my life. RIP
“The Last Troubadour” was not, sadly Mr Lightfoot. It was the Swedish teacher of that honey voiced singer Richard Dyer-Bennett and a few of the songs of his teacher can be found on CZcams
Lord rock me in your Great Gulf Hammock, then lay me neath your azure blue tide.

I just spent 10 days in the area of North Fl. God's Country
@@nflnative I agree; but, then again, I grew up there and lived there for about half my life, so I'm biased :) I'm glad you enjoyed your trip!
This was fabulous!
Thank you for watching, and for commenting. I'm very happy you enjoyed it!
I was lucky enough to get to see Gordie live. Was.gifted a pair of tickets to his 2011 concert in winnipeg. Brought my dad along as he is a big fan as well. Gordie was showing his age, had trouble hitting key changes in some songs, but others he sang perfectly. He played the whole set without a hitch. I think it was nearly a 3 hour show with only a short intermission in the middle. Glad I had the opportunity to see him live. Definately one of my best memories. RIP Gordie, you will be missed by many,.. as a wise man once said "for the many of the dead men... to silent to be real..."
What a great opportunity! I wish I had had the chance to see him live.
Thank you, Dr. Gross.
You are very welcome, Dr. Klein :)
His songs were like reflective discussions of which you never tire.
That is a very insightful, and beautiful description.
@@ferallutheran2608 Gracias 🙏
One of the greatest songs ever written.
I found this by accident while listening to some concert videos. I’ve listening to his music a lot lately with my kids, much I did with my own dad. I live in the prairies now and I cried while listening to Canadian Railroad Trilogy while in the car the other day. It struck me as I drove back to our family farm that was homesteaded in 1885 while the ink was still drying on Confederation. My FIL still remembers how the train linked our little farm to the world. Anyway, there’s something about him that is so deeply Canadian that I don’t think I can put my finger on. This is a beautiful documentary and thank you for making it ❤
Thank you for watching, and for commenting. I am very happy you enjoyed it. I grew up far from the Canadian prairies, but it was The Canadian Railroad Trilogy, along with If You Could Read My Mind, Love, that kindled my love of Gordon Lightfoot when I was a boy. You might also enjoy my video interpretation of The Canadian Railroad Trilogy: czcams.com/video/9O_qxJAmW4c/video.html
On how he wants to be remembered: "I'm gonna leave a clean campsite when I get out of here." Classic Gord.
Yes, what a wonderful way to put it. And a good way to be remembered.
Lovely tribute to Gordon Lightfoot. He’s a light that will never go out. What an amazing talented modest man.
Agreed! Thank you for watching, and I am glad you enjoyed it.
