    I have been listening to Gordon LIghtfoot since 1975 and it is great to hear someone that sounds so much like him and will carry on with his music for other generations to hear. Thanks,

    Hello from Iowa...USA. Love your arrangement of Don Quixote. What a tribute to GL!! So nice to hear someone sing Lightfoot so well. You sound much like him in the younger days. Both of you: Keep playing!

    This is maybe the most heartfelt cover of Mr. Lightfoot's masterwork that I've ever heard. I first bought a copy of Gord's Gold in the early '80's, and in these 30 years gone by I have listened to Don Quixote at least hundreds, if not thousands, of times, and never grow tired of it. Thanks for posting this, it will be added to my "favorites" list.

    I haven't done a shout out in a while, but I have listened to you for a couple of years now and this, among others I prefer (Sorry Gordon) to the originals. Your arranging and just little bits of timing make great songs even better. Thank you Brian, Lenny & Mr. Woolcock!
