Other than the stuff everyone heard on the radio, the only Gordon Lightfoot song I know is "Ten Degrees and Getting Colder"--because Nanci Griffith covered it on her "Other Voices, Other Rooms" album. That's a great song (and a wonderful album). So I like what I've heard, but I guess I'm not familiar enough with him to have a very educated opinion. Amy |

Banjo on Ruins of the Realm?? That's my fave on this album. And that's something else I like about him--he throws in an unexpected instrument every so often. He'll use brass, whatever. |

Sad thing is that's not the worst picture of Pete I found. Just saving it, pacing myself a bit. varedsfan |
Bender's just awesome. "Hey, what kind of party is this? There's no booze and only one hooker."
