Skipping over the ocean like a stone.

Nilsson’s was a cover of Fred Neil’s original. I like Fred’s original but Nilsson’s version is transcendent.

I recently found a copy of Fred Neil’s 1966 LP from which it comes. Good record.

I’ve been enjoying lately Bob “Elusive Butterfly” Lind’s albums as well.

Nilsson’s Everybody’s Talkin’ and his biggest hit, Without You, were written by other people.

And don’t even get me started on Jerry Jeff Walker

Or Danny O’Keefe

Murray McLauchlan’s “Down by the Henry Moore”

Random singer songwriters with folkie backgrounds, mostly.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #165 on:** September 21, 2023, 09:33:09 PM »

Lightfoot, of course

Rodzinski · « **Reply #166 on:** September 21, 2023, 09:34:43 PM »

Gordon Lightfoot, that is

Rodzinski · « **Reply #167 on:** September 21, 2023, 09:36:41 PM »

As opposed to Terra Lightfoot, a lovely current female singer unrelated to Gord.

I’m just riffing here on some stuff I’ve been listening to lately.

Terry Fox week at the kids school commenced with the Terry Fox Run

Rodzinski · « **Reply #173 on:** September 21, 2023, 09:42:14 PM »

Terry being the Canadian hero who ran across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

Even running after he had a leg amputated.

A national hero to people of all ages.

The extrajudicial killing of a Sikh-Canadian citizen by Indian operatives in Surrey (about 20 miles from here) is pretty alarming.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #177 on:** September 21, 2023, 09:46:03 PM »

But nothing was done when the Saudis hacked that American journalist up, so what will be done in this case?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #178 on:** September 21, 2023, 09:47:03 PM »

Oops, went heavy there for a bit.
