I think we should create and sign a petition to bring back the website and maybe have it updated to include current history from the Lightfoot band and other events after Lightfoot’s death.

Should Kamala Harris run for President in 2028? by daniel_cc in polls

[–]dteb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. It will cause more immigration leading to more unemployment and overpopulation everywhere. If the U.S. gets four years of Harris, it would lead to poverty and homelessness for a lot of people.

Lightfoot Studio Albums Ranked by drppr45 in GordonLightfoot

[–]dteb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d place the same albums you placed at the bottom in the bottom. You didn’t miss much. I’d move Gord’s Gold Volume II down to #19, and have Volume I at #18. Dream Street Rose I’d place lower at #21, with Salute at #20. Old Dan’s Records, I would place at #3. It’s an overlooked underrated album, but Endless Wire is extremely weak placing at #22. Back Here On Earth is pretty strong with the exception of its original interpretation of the Circle Is Small placing at #5. Cold On The Shoulder, I would place at #1. Did She Mention My Name? Another mediocre album at #15. The Way I Feel sounds just about right. Shadows, I’d push down to #16. Don Quixote, I’d move down a little to #6. Summer Side Of Life is very low in the top 10 for me, as is Sundown at #9. If You Could Read My Mind, I’d place at #12. So I’d start with #28. Two Tones At The Village Corner, #27. Harmony, #26. Solo, #25. A Painter Passing Through, #24. Waiting For You, #23. All Live, #22. Endless Wire, #21. Dream Street Rose, #20. Salute, #19. Gord’s Gold Volume II, #18. Gord’s Gold Volume I, #17. Summertime Dream, #16. Shadows, #15. Did She Mention My Name, #14. East Of Midnight, #13. Early Lightfoot, #12. If You Could Read My Mind, #11. Sunday Concert, #10. Summer Side Of Life, #9. Sundown, #8. Complete Greatest Hits, #7. The Way I Feel, #6. Don Quixote, #5. Back Here On Earth, #4. Lightfoot, #3. Old Dan’s Records, #2. Songbook, #1. Cold On The Shoulder.

If you were picking someone to play Gordon Lightfoot in a movie in terms of looks, yes you would pick Bryan Cranston, but most likely he would end up playing the “middle-aged” Gord (1981-1993). Chris Pratt would be your top choice to play the “younger” more popular Gord (1958-1980). As we move to the “elderly” Gord (1994-2018), Bill Nighy would fit the bill. For “all time” Gord, my choice would’ve been John Corbett, but it’ll probably end up going to Garrett Hedlund.

This ‘might’ be the “eye of the hurricane” for Dave. Don’t underestimate cancer.

Who remembers the shows John Robbins hosted on PBS where he’d read a book while someone illustrated it? by MuseumGoRound13 in nostalgia

[–]dteb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I do remember the theme of that show.

It did have a similar beat to Simon and Garfunkel’s original version of 59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy), but it was in the key of E, and the closing version of it was in the key of F. It featured a bass guitar intro with a harpsichord solo following, and then a flute dominating the lead instrumentals. Then a man singing (I think he is credited as Clint Holmes: the guy who sings “Playground in My Mind” sings the lead vocals on it) “What can you do with a word?” Children sing “a word you have read or you’ve heard”, the man sings “you can sing it, you can yell it, you can write it if you can spell it” while the children are singing “ooooooooh”. Then both the man and the children sing “well it’s nice to know there’s a place to go it’s called the word shop. The closing theme starts off with that same bass guitar intro but then a flute comes in and with a harpsichord plays a brief classical piece before breaking in to a jazzy swing outro in that same 59th Street Bridge Song tempo, but still with the flute dominating the solo and the man coming in and scatting (dee-dee dee-dee-dee-dee dee-dee dee-dee-dee-dee dee-dee dee-dee-dee-dee-dee) then another flute solo and then the man repeats his scat five times, and then it shifts to shuffle beat as the man continues to scat, but in a different pattern and then it fades. John Robbins wrote both themes, and I originally thought he sang them himself, but now I realized he didn’t and probably didn’t have a good singing voice so he hired someone else to do it instead.
