Today is a sad sad day, May 1st 2023, Gordon Lightfoot left us. What a legacy of music he left us, he brought unending happiness to my life. I cannot think of a single song of his that ever made think of anything but the best of his talent and gifts to us mere mortals. So long, thank you for the ride!

My husband is in the hospital tonight fighting for his life. Quintuple heart surgery. He went to Vietnam at age 19. He never talked much about it. Nor has he ever really talked about music. He did tell me that this was his favorite song. He heard it ALOT on the radio over there. This tells you about about him. What a great choice for a favorite song. Rest in peace Gordon.

When we vacationed in Canada, it was a long ride home. I was lucky enough to find a documentary on a Candadian PBS-type station that was broadcasing Gordon Lightfoot and I prayed it wouldn't fade out on me. My daughter, who wasn't as into music as my son, was traveling with me. She was about four. She'd nod off; wake up, read a book, go back to sleep and finally said, "Will they ever stop talking about Gordon Lightfoot?" She hadn't, to my knowledge, ever paid any attention to my albums by him. I said, "Do you know who he is?" and in a rather glum voice, she said, "How could I miss? You play his album all the time. My favorite is the one about the early morning train." At that, she went back to sleep. And here I thought she didn't pay any attention to the music I played!

Many times the morning mist/dew would be buring off as they rumbled off in the distance. So poignant... alone , young, strange surroundings, for a year i lived in that room watching those jets. He became one of my favorite folk artists. Later, many years later i saw him in concert ..... his music has been such joy over my lifetime. He had such a gift.

Gordon had a unique ability to hold an audience spellbound when he presented his songs. This song tells a tale so well it's astonishing. " You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train. So, I best be on my way in the early mornin' rain. " Those lines paint a perfect picture of an abject and lonely man. Perfect poetry.

His signature song. One of my fave songs ever. In 1995 I took my Lightfoot album called "Lightfoot" to Sam The Record Man in Toronto and he signed it for me. I said that I was a Dylan fan and had all of Dylan's records. I asked him if he got to see Dylan anymore and he said yes. I then realized that probably was a mistake and said that I had all his records also 🙂. As I walked away he raised his hands up high and looking at me said "Dylan's the greatest" and smiled. Everybody next in line, including me although somewhat embarrassed, started laughing 😃. I will never forget that moment in time....Lone Wolf :)

Decades ago I was in a busy restaurant with a group of friends when this song drifted above the hubbub and bore into my soul. I was choking back tears at the vulnerability and wisdom of what he was describing. Years later I traveled and worked around the world and wherever I went, as one is wont to do, I met expats. Buskers, English teachers, bankers, a lot of lonely stuck people living the story of this song. What he describes so poetically is the shame one feels being unable to change your life for the better.

It's a traveling song; he's singing about how free the plane is when it's up in the sky, where it's sunny. And he is on the ground where it's raining. IT's a song about longing to be somewhere, anywhere else, than where you are. Cheers.

I met him about a year before he passed. I took photos of his whole concert. He died with his boots on. A true legend.

@Gordon Lightfoot I grew up listening to your songs and my late brother would play them on his guitar. We siblings sang along...great memories. I love the song "Only a Go Go Girl" well....I love all of your songs truthfully. I have never had the opportunity to hear you play live but maybe someday.😊
