He's a lovely, gentle man who still loves to perform for his fans. His long time orchestra are the ultimate professionals as always with a new lead guitarist of 2 years replacing the late Terry Clements. If you see a concert near you in 2014 get ut and see it - while Gordon's voice is that of a 75 year old it is still LIGHTFOOT and in many ways the voice today resonates deeper in many of his songs-a voice reflecting a life lived, loves lost and found and social questions that still have no answers.

Nothing like finding naked folks running around with Birch boughs, swatting each other on the butt.

I have 3 Gordon Lightfoot CDs and while I love Ribbon of Darkness, I'll add that Early Morning Rain, Carefree Highway, and Changes are some of my favorites.
