I’m about Gordon’s age, Jeff, and his recent passing hit me really hard. I loved his music. This song was always one of my favorites, and your rendition of it here is so perfect it nearly brings tears to my eyes. Well done my friend, old Gord would be proud.
Thank you! I always loved the song. I am reworking on it to add the guitar interludes between the verses. So far not difficult, just would be hard not to lose it if in public.
Very nicely done Sir. I was looking for this song done by Gerry Guthrie just to listen to and now I'm actually picking along with you trying to learn it.
Honestly Jeff, every video I find by you reminds me more and more of my grandfather who passed back in 2021. It brings me back to those early mornings and late nights hearing him play his folk songs in the kitchen or on the patio. Thanks for that, I really appreciate it
I was blessed w/Gordon's loyal friendship for many years, & his death last year devastated me!! As the 1-year anniversary looms nearer, I find myself once again immersed in everything I can find of his - concerts, interviews - & yes, covers!! I stumbled onto this by accident, & I'm glad I did. Your voice is hauntingly similar, but somehow comforting in this tasteful rendition, which also showcases your stellar talent. I'm grateful that you respected his arrangement. Your obvious talent is a tribute to be proud of. Gordon was one of the greatest singer/songwriters of ALL TIME!! ❤❤ I will continue to sing his praises as long as there's a breath in my body!! I'd like to also hear you sing his "If You Could Read My Mind." Your voice seems well-suited for that song, as well. ❤ I wish you continued success!! I think Gordon would have been pleased.
@@JeffinVT- I just wanted to let you know I've been listening to more of your Lightfoot covers since we last communicated, & I want you to know how much I appreciate the respect you've shown to Gordon & to his original interpretation. I wish you continued success as you expand your library!! 🦊🦊
I just listened to your cover of one of my favorite Lightfoot songs and your version is outstanding. I noticed you have covered many of Gordons songs except my favorite. Have you ever sung "Summer Side of Life"? If you get a chance you should muster up your beautiful voice and give it a try!
Thanks for your feedback. I will try it. It is a sad one for sure. I also want to try “The House You Live In”. Summer is quite busy so I don’t often record but give me couple of weeks.
You capture Gordon Lightfoot on this song better than anyone else I've heard. Any chance you'd try Early Morning Rain (Gordon's version, not Peter Paul & Mary's, which most covers seem to prefer)?
I used to do it with a hard strum, while I prefer to pick most of Gordon’s songs if I can. I will take another look at it. Thanks for your feedback on “Did She Mention…” I think it is my most listened to post.
Just Thumb and 1. Pick root and 1st string together. Then thumb on 3rd string followed by 1st finger on Second string. Then on 1 st string. Then thumb on 3rd string. repeat.
@@dalecleveland144 yes. It was one of my first videos and the first GL one. It is straightforward without following the original guitar patterns. I hope to rework it to make it more like the original. Song for a Winters Night GL#1 Jeff Firlik
Likely some women may think some of Gordon’s music did not bode well for women. Even Gordon himself said he regretted some songs like “That’s what You Get For Loving Me”
An outstanding rendition of this song. Jeff got the beat, the melody notes, and the verses absolutely correct. And his voice is smooth and melodic.
Thank you for your kind words! Happy holidays!
