1, 9?

Favorite song right now and Song you have seen live: I'm going to cheat a little bit and give the same answer to both questions. I was fortunate enough to see the Kingston Trio in concert some years ago, back when original member Bob Shane (who has since passed away) was still with the group, and they performed this song, which has had a special place in my heart ever since. In less than four minutes, it distills the essence of Christianity as I understand it.

Earwig Redux

A subscriber to my silly little blog “thanked me” for so cleverly inserting a Tom Dooley earwig into his cerebrum. As with all things Curmudgeon, there is a bit of a back story.  This Kingston Trio song  rose to the top of the charts in 1958. I would have been six.  Tom Dooley is the first popular song of which I remember singing the lyrics. But…my mother had a favorite story about the four year…

I don’t know if y’all have seen this masterpiece of a picture so here it is!

The second picture is a close up of the first one.

Renee, you are correct. That is a hunk sandwich. ❤️

I can’t get over Mox and Eddie with their tongues sticking out 🤣

I’ve made this post 3 times because the internet at work is literally THE WORST.

“One of Our Greatest Singer-songwriters:” Gordon Lightfoot Dead at 84

Gordon Lightfoot, the Canadian troubadour who found massive chart success both at home and south of the boarder while earning the respect of his contemporaries, has died, his management said.

“It is with profound sadness that we confirm that Gordon Meredith Lightfoot has passed away,” it read.

Lightfoot, 84, died May 1 of natural causes at a Toronto hospital, the statement said. The hard-touring musician had recently cleared his 2023 concert calendar citing health issues.

“The world is a lesser place without him,” Bryan Adams said on social media. “I know I speak for all Canadians when I say: ‘Thank you for the songs, Gordon Lightfoot. Bless your sweet, songwriting heart.’”

Lightfoot was “one of our greatest singer-songwriters,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.

“Gordon Lightfoot captured our country’s spirit in his music – and in doing so, he helped shape Canada’s soundscape,” Trudeau said. “May his music continue to inspire future generations and may his legacy live on forever.”

That soundscape might be best defined by the CBC-commissioned “Canadian Railroad Trilogy” from 1967. In releasing 20 albums between 1966’s Lightfoot and 2020’s Solo, Lightfoot heard his songs recorded by everyone from the Kingston Trio to Bob Dylan to Watkins Family Hour.

Lightfoot’s death elicited reactions from across generations and genres on social media. Among them: “What great music he gave us” (Foghat); “Brilliant” (Michael Feinstein); “You made the world a better place” (Jerry Douglas); “An amazing writer; an amazing singer” (Joe Newberry); “The Mark Twain of folk music” (Michael Des Barres); “Gordon really had the gift” (Jason Isbell); “Rest in peace” (Brian Wilson).

“We’ll never stop singing your songs,” Choir! Choir! Choir! said in a statement.

Among the best-known of those songs are “Early Morning Rain,” “If You Could Read My Mind, “Sundown,” “Carefree Highway,” “Rainy Day People” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

In eulogizing the “Canadian treasure,” Steve Poltz recalled how Lightfoot would voluntarily play “soul-crushing,”“tweener” sets at Canadian festivals, leaving the spotlight to younger musicians.

“Gordon Lightfoot was a gift to the world,” Poltz said. “We were lucky he left us such a treasure trove of beautiful songs. Godspeed, you beautiful troubadour.”
