Stan Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, and James Keelaghan...3 Canadian songwriting treasures ! This is the first time I've heard James perform this Lightfoot classic. Thanks for the outstanding post.
James does it on the Lightfoot tribute CD - BEAUTIFUL... Lightfoot was in the room this night.. He shows up at the shows to enjoy the talent and the tunes... ;)
Congratulations on a fabulous done on what is not only what should be Canada's second National Anthem, but probably the most perfect song ever written, both in lyrics and music composition....pure genius from Gordon Lightfoot, very few do justice to the Majestic and Iconic song but you've done it!!! WELL DONE!!! Love it!!
The annual shows at HUGHS Room in Toronto no longer take place. There are 3 nights at Massey booked for the grand reopening after 3 1/2 years of renovations.Lightfoot closed the Church of Gord/Massey Hall with 3 shows on June 29,30 and July 1 2018. Tickets are on sale now.
@@lightfootfan is there not any sort of music festival that exists anymore for Lightfoot music? Something that includes other musicians playing his music?
@@mikeozaruk8927 not that I know of.. There are ''cover'' bands around probably, several in the u.s. but nothing along the lines of the Hugh's Room shows..

Add in the band Tamarack, pick the songs carefully, and you've got a pretty course in Canadian history.
Agreed, James Gordon and Alex Sinclair, both formerly of Tamarack, should be added to that list.
Nice job James! Your sister, Sharon, has turned me on to some of your songs, too.
Yeah... me too!... beautifully done...

Awesome singing! One of my favourite songs! :)
I never heard of this guy - just stumbled on this. WOW!
Listen to his earlier labor protest songs. Like Small Rebellion.
His first 4 albums are incredible!
Would you know if there’s supposed to be another annual Lightfoot celebration this upcoming year?
