I admit to shedding a tear this morning after the passing of Canadian singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot at the age of 84. Performing and touring until recently when he cancelled his 2023 concerts. My all time favourite artist I have collected and listened to his music for over 50 years.
I was a young soldier serving in Cyprus when I stumbled across his song ' Canadian Railroad Trilogy'

Almost 7 mins of story telling in song that captivated me. Never 'mainstream' but many will remember his beautiful creation 'If You Could Read My Mind' Live version here:
