Hi, Evan, I like Lightfoot's early stuff and have sung some of the songs I
like best. Can't say I care much for his later stuff beginning with
"Sundown". I did see the book in the collection. Being a folksinger, I know
there is a dearth of song books of traditional folk songs as well as for
those who like the lyrics of a particular singer/songwriter (such as
Lightfoot). Regards, Kim Friedman.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] A Multimedia Event for Gordon Lightfoot Fans
Hello Folks,
A few days ago, I submitted a little art book called I Wish You Good Spaces:
Poetic Selections from the Songs of Gordon Lightfoot. It contains excerpts
of lyrics from many of his songs starting with his earliest album,
Lightfoot, released in 1965, up through the 1976 Summertime Dream album. The
book also contains several airbrush illustrations accompanying the lyrics.
Lissi proofread the book, and described the illustrations. She checked it in
yesterday evening and Carrie approved it late last night.
Little did I know how fortuitous the timing would be! I happen to go to
Amazon last night because I was trying to think of a name of one of his
earliest albums and was having a memory block. Going through the list of
titles, I discovered that a whole bunch of them are being reissued today. It
appears that just about everything he recorded for Warner Brothers Reprise
from his 1970 Sit Down Young Stranger, (aka If You Could Read My Mind),
album on up to his 1998 album, A Painter Passing Through, thirteen in all,
is coming out again today. I didn't see it on Amazon, but from another
source, it appears that they have been remastered as well.
The timing is especially coincidental because I got this little book last
year, either for Christmas or for my birthday, so I may have had it for a
year. I admit that I did forget about it for a while, but finally getting
around to scanning it and getting it into the collection on the day of all
these new CD reissues is something really exciting for any fans out there,
as I am.
So for any of you fellow Gordon Lightfoot admirers out there, I wish you
good spaces, good reading, and good listening.
Here is Lissi's book synopsis and a link to the book:
A collection of poetic lyrics excerpted from Gordon Lightfoot's songs. He
was a popular folk singer from the mid-sixties through the seventies. Even
without his music, his observations on lasting love, passing love,
friendship, nature, beauty and peace. made for relaxing reading and
contemplation then as they still do today.
