A nice cover, though you miss a few notes with your voice, if you don't mind me saying ;), still I admire your finger picking skills as well as the skill to play and fingerpick simultaniously.
It's a difficult song, but perhaps you can listen to the song again, since not all the tones in your voice where correct (not critisism, just a point you could work on )
Hey Jaybob...I am a transplanted Canadian living in rural illinois. Have seen Gordon a few times at Massey Hall. You do a fine version of one of his best tunes. Thanks !
That is much too kind. But I will humbly accept. Thank you! Is he just not the greatest? I have never been fortunate enough to see him. But he's been with me for most of my life. Awesome man. He makes every Canadian proud, I would think.
Well done jaybob.I love GL's songs.Takes me back to my childhood.When I was a kid my late Dad use to sing us GL's songs.'Knotty Pine' & 'Daylight Katy'often tucked me to sleep.Thanks jaybob!Miss ya Dad...
Jeanandbilly, what a sweet connection to draw. And to hear someone else putting out the GLs just makes us all sutured at the heart. Yes? Missing your dad, therefore, along with you to this extent. J
Again, splendid cover! One of my absolute favorites. The part in the beginning with the flute-like instrument, I transposed to play on my ocarina. It's quite pretty, actually. :)
Yeah man! Well done Jaybob! Your guitar playing is great! Love the sound of yer picking. And of course a Gordon Lightfoot song seems to be your forte'. Easy 5ver without a doubt! 5*s
Very sad Very True Song but GOOD COVER thanks

Along with Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "I Believe in Father Christmas", one of the saddest Christmas songs ever. I cry every time I hear it.

Typing in bed on the laptop is harder than playing guitar to a G.L. song. That should have said: Cheers! lol

Nicely done. I've always been a fan of Gordon Lightfoot and you do a good job capturing his work.

Thanks, UFCguy. When I hear his songs, it brings me back to where I was in my life at that time. And this is one way to keep in touch with all that.
