    RIP, Gordon Lightfoot. Changed my life for the better, and every song is perfect to listen to on a cold day. I know there were a lot of songs bigger than this one; this quiet 2020 release, but I go back to this song so often. There's something special in this song he could only seem to capture in his old age. I'll always treasure all his songs, but this one can't help but to stand out.

    Railroading has lost one of its great troubadours. Unlike 2010 when the news was incorrect, this morning it's for real. Rest well, and like former Canadian National Railroad president Paul Tellier once said, think not of what you did, but what you left. O So Sweet is playing right now and I'm fighting back tears.

    Mr, Lightfoot has been a part of my musical life when I first heard 'If You Could Read My Mind' way back in 1970 when I was only 14 years old. That song has always stayed with me, and I so much enjoyed hearing this thoughtful balladeer in the years since then and going back to his music before 1970. This acoustic collection of songs is just the icing on the cake of a brilliant career, cementing his status as one of the greatest songwriters of any generation. 'Oh So Sweet' is a recollection of years, put in his own words, haunting yet positive in it's approach to how all of us accept the life we've been given and how we've lived it. At 82 years young he is an impressive musical force that same as when I first heard him.

    Been 50 years since I first heard Gordon Lightfoot. His best music is, as always, looking inwards and relating things to us all. Now he's in his 80's, and time has diminished some of his skills. But with this new music, he shows the mind is still sharp as he delivers the message of an older man: always follow your own path, the one that's been there for you, and remember the best of times, for they are soon to come to their end. Thanks, Gord.

The years have added up for both of us, and I truly think this is one of the most touching, heartfelt, beautiful songs you have ever done. Bless you for a lifetime of giving yourself to so many others.

      I feel the hidden messages in the artwork through the song right up to the graphic above. I so wish - still, after fifty plus plus years of being right there with you through your career, you and I could have about an hour's worth of coffee. It would be the highlight of the rest of my days. Seems we go near the same spots introspectively.
      Also my husband used to be one of the ones who'd drive by at all hours, by the ravine, keeping watch. He took me by a few times, and knew not to speak; he just let me take in the night air of the lovely spot and listen to your music.
      I've loved your work all this time... I think you left out Mountains and Mary Ann in your must have list during the interview tho. A beautiful tune.
      Do you have a favourite charity Gord? I'd love to make a donation in your name.
      If anyone reading this could pass that along to him, I'd appreciate it.
      Thanks all, if you could.
      Thank you Gord for giving so much of yourself tho I m sure there's so very much more kept private.
      Love you, as much as a stranger can love another.... and there's the concept for your next little ditty.
