Here's my cover of a song inspired by Gordon Lightfoot's 1972 concert in London, England. I've loved Gordon's music for decades. I grew old with him. The sight of Lightfoot performing his song as a young man is both glorious and saddening. Lightfoot passed away recently at the age of 84. He never stopped performing until the very end. Thanks for your music, GL.
