   Yes, something special has been lost. A friend of my brothers lived a few   
   doors down from Lightfoot and he used to drop in now and then to play   
   tunes with them. He was a very down to earth guy they said.   
      
   Listening to some of his songs today I was reminded of how many of his   
   pieces were in my repertoire. Rarely did I do more than a couple of songs   
   by any one artist but I probably learned 8 or 10 of his over the years.   
   Two of my most requested favourites at friend's parties were Edmund Fitz.   
   and If You Could Read My Mind. I refer to parties with others who played   
   guitar or fiddle. I didn't too often get paid to play although I was once   
   offered a space on a mixed record for a song I wrote but that project   
   sort of went under before it got to the production phase. Being a musician   
   was never a big dream of mine though so it didn't break my heard. I played   
   an electric guitar and wrote songs in a teenage rock group for a few years   
   and later bought a 12 string and a couple of 6 string acoustic guitars   
   and got more into folk type music so Lightfoot balads fit in well.   
      
   But the world has lost a unique person and many of us will miss him..
