  ROTFL!  Dammit, Bill!  I just lost a mouthful of perfectly good coffee!

BR> Truthfully I always saw him as a John Denver kind of guy.
BR> Pleasant to listen to if you didn't have any real music
BR> availible but very much a "Folk Lite" kind of guy.

  Wow!  I can understand how someone might get that impression from
listening *only* to his 'hits', but there's lots of other strong stuff
on most of his albums (at least the ones from the '70s).  I always
thought he was a pretty good lyricist and storteller.

MR> That's always the way it is.  I'd offer to take them off your hands,
MR> but I've already got most of my favourite Lightfoot albums.  ;-)

BR> Haul your behind down to Fidojam oneday. (This year is the
BR> 5th annual, FIDOJAM 2000) and they're yours.

  I'd love to one day, Bill, but I'm afraid it won't be this year.
Even if finances would allow, my car simply wouldn't make it.  :-(
