    Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for honoring Gordon, in my opinion the greatest singer/songwriter who ever lived. I saw him in concert 35 times, and was honored to meet him after a concert here in Chicago a few years ago. He was kind enough to pose for a picture with my wife and me.

    I first heard this performed by The Kingston Trio, then about three years ago Gordon Lightfoot came to the Maine Center for the Arts and performed all evening to perfection. Of course this was part of the performance, but Gordon sang just about everything for which he is remembered. Simply the best, finest concert I've ever attended - bar none. He opened the second set with "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", note for note sounding like a perfect recording, but very much alive. He is quite justly regarded as a Canadian National Treasure. God bless the time he wrote, sang, and performed amongst us.
    Darwin, you did him justice. Yours too, was a fine and soulful performance.
    This is just great band.

      @@Brucev7 I saw him last fall. I have mixed feelings about seeing him. On the one hand, I am glad that I got to see him before he passed away. On the other hand, due to his age and declining health, his performance was negatively impacted. I think somebody should have told him to retire sooner than he did.

      It was around 10 yrs ago, when the concert was. You could tell much time had lapsed. But, as someone else posted, "He was very down to earth and personable."

      I respect who he was and what he was. If you can’t see past what age does to all of us it’s because you’re too young to understand. If you’re lucky, you’re time will come. A life doesn’t get frozen at a certain age. It evolves. You might get to decide when it’s time for you to quit. Don’t judge the choices made by others.
