  • Gutsy, and very well done. Keep up the good work.

  • I generally don't like covers especially of someone as unique as Gordon Lightfoot but I have to say, this is a very good second best. Thank you.

  • Out of the park!!! BEAUTIFUL

  • Definately not a Canadian accent...however...this dude is great!!!!

  • Gordon had to know the song is haunting in it's nature.I wonder if he realizes it's timelessness.I'm sure the true Lightfoot fans know exactly what I'm saying.Thank you for the post.

  • wow. very well done!

  • Supurb! I have not heard it done better.

  • As Simon Cowell would say , bloody fantastic.

  • A beautiful rendition....in the style of the master himself. Love your guitar playing!

  • Has to be one of the best Gordon Lighffoot covers, excellent 

  • One of my favorite GL songs...You did it proud.

  • I can honestly say I liked that better than Gordon Lightfoot's rendition. Wow.

  • I'm surprised your covers haven't attracted more attention. I actually prefer a lot of them to the originals, believe it or not. Nice work.

  • I was afraid to watch over fear of huge disappointment.

    That would have been a mistake on my part.

    Joe, that was fabulous! I would pay to see you in concert.

    What a great tribute to Gordon Lightfoot.

  • excellent, one of the best version of Gordon's , nicely done.

  • Nicely done! Can't wait to share this with my dad who got me started listening to Gordon a long time ago.

  • My Daughter died of meningococcal septicaemia back in February 2000. The night was calm and snow was coming down softly. That song always takes me back to that time. I miss her very much. Thank you for your rendition of Gordon Lightfoots song “ Winters night”. You do it justice

    Peace

  • GOOD JOB BUD!!!

  • Ausgezeichnet! I spotted a duet that you performed with Brian of La Mesa, CA. Great performance on that one also. . . .

  • Thank you so very much for this wonderful gift. I can sit here, pretending that I am in a small, intimate smoky club, and that your voice and sweet guitar work are ringing off the rafters. Thanks again so much.

  • Your talent is so GREAT it is beyond words....THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing it with all of us!!!

  • Kudos, Dude. Gordon Lightfoot is a huge part of my young-woman memories: and hearing your rendition not only violated no sacred inner space of mine, it brought me back there with grace, affection, and a ripened forgiveness for all my youth and poignant foolishness. Thank you, my dear.

  • What a wonderful version! I love the GL original, too, but your crisp guitar work is great and I like your singing more than GL's somewhat mannered rendition.

  • Beautiful, one of my fav songs by Gord.  Have you done anything from Shadows?

  • We have been rehearsing for a gig and took a break to look for this song. Yours was the best cover we heard.

    Thanks, Mindy and Fran

  • YOUR EXCELLENT MITZIE

  • That was really beautiful, haven't heard such a moving performance

  • I was fortunate to hear GL sing this song live in Toronto in 1979, and it is one of my all time favourites. Whenever someone covers such a song I usually cringe, but this was SUPERB. Your guitar work is almost flawless and you have an excellent voice. FIVE STARS - WELL DONE !!

  • Memory will know this forever!

  • We have 48 inches of snow on the ground here and it's snowing as I type. I needed to hear this song--and boy, I couldn't have asked for a better rendition. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Tender and yet, dynamic and inspiring!

    I do agree with hardlines4--I love the under-appreciated and underperformed song "Beautiful."
