That time when Joni Mitchell dropped by Gordon Lightfoot’s place and Bob Dylan and Roger McGuinn just happened to be there…
Fly on the wall time…

Another great Gordon Lightfoot song. Just when you think it’s headed to cliche, he comes up with an impossibly beautiful and mysterious line.
I really like what one YouTube commenter, Thomas Hofheinz, said about this song:
“This makes me remember something that never happened to me.”

Gordon Lightfoot at the peak of his long career.
For those Cervantes fans who can’t help but tilt at windmills.
You know who you are.

A melancholy, favorite early song from Gordon Lightfoot.

Gordon Lightfoot has decades of great singing and songwriting behind him, but I most enjoyed his songs from the early 1970s. Here’s a performance from a BBC special in 1972 where he sings one of his best, “If You Could Read My Mind.”
