Gordon Lightfoot fans pay tribute to folk singer with new documentary

TORONTO -- Gordon Lightfoot kept his humbled composure on Thursday night as a room of devoted fans toasted the Canadian folk legend at the premiere of "Lightheaded: A Gordon Lightfoot State of Mind," an affectionate documentary about the community that's grown from decades of his music.
Held in-person at the restored 1930's-style Eglinton Grand venue in Toronto, the modest, invite-only event was centred around one thing: the 83-year-old guest of honour who showed up to receive the loving embrace alongside his bandmates.

  Maybe I got it, maybe I didn't    But this seemed like a wonderful thing to add here.

Thanks very much, Flo ... that is wonderful, and very timely. On his oldies show last weekend, former CHUM DJ Roger Ashby played Marty Robbins' version of Ribbon Of Darkness, and he also mentioned how it had been a #1 country hit for Robbins. Here's a link that will go directly to the March 22 Facebook post about it having been released on that day in 1965.
