@7761864 It's always great to get a nice comment, but it's truly humbling to get one from someone who has mastered Gordon Lightfoot's music the way that you have. When I checked out your channel I was amazed to say the least! Your Lightfoot covers are simply jaw-dropping! I subbed immediately! Thanks so much for taking time to check out my video!
@Pictor100 I know Gordon Lightfoot is a national treasure up there in Canada so when I get a compliment from a Canadian, well, that's the ultimate! Thanks!
Hi John, Is that a Les Paul you're playing? That's a great guitar! You're music sounds so good! Is Gordon Lightfoot the one who sang "Sundown you better take care, If I find you been creepin around my back stairs"? Great music :-)
@MsRoseCarmel Yes that's my Black Beauty! I bought it new in 1972 when I was just a pup. Cost me $375. Check the price on one now! Yes Gordon Lightfoot sang Sundown. In fact, everyone on planet earth should own a copy of the Sundown album! Music just doesn't get any better than that IMHO! Thank you so much for your kind comment! Love Rosebud!
Just Beautiful John! Great work in your Awesome studio! I will be with you when we experience this Amazing artist again! My first time was in 72! He brought me to tears then when he did "If You Could Read My Mind"! I'm sure you would get a Thumbs-Up from him on this Great performance! That is what I am giving you right now! Thanks! Great job Bro!
@nipsterstang Thanks Jim! What a career he's had! I just can't listen to his music without picking up a guitar and playing along! Thanks for the nice comment!
Amazing recording! So professional; first-rate sound. What a beautiful song; I can't believe he's in his 70s; where did the time go! Oh so lovely - all stars to YOU!
@buniluvr@buniluvr Thanks you so much Julie! As for the recording, it's just a cobble job really. I recorded the acoustic guitar and the electric slide and vocal on an open reel tape deck back in the early '80s. I recorded the tape into my computer and then copied the file to a compact flash card. I plugged the card into my Roland Juno G workstation keyboard and then added percussion samples and bass guitar and another electric guitar part. Thanks for taking time to listen and comment!
VERY VERY good! congratulations!

Great cover... definitely one of the best Lightfoot covers on YouTube. I also like the arrangements you did. Very nice.

I've been a big fan of Mr. Lightfoot's for a long time but haven't found many who can sing his songs as well as you do. Thanks for sharing with us.
