RIP Gordon Lightfoot

Post by Andy Volk »

Goodbye to an indelible voice in music.

My version of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on an Asher Hawaiian. An appropriate lament to a musician who influenced so many.

RIP Gord. An old record that should sate the appetites of Lightfoot fans and steel guitar fans alike:

Thanks, Barney. It was part of a multi-take series experimenting with digital delay. Each take had its flaws plus some really cool, haunting moments.
