Dear Friends
To all who have been faithful and regular messaging friends I say - thank you for your energy - from the bottom of my heart.
XOXOX
To Windspirit - Dear Barb - I thank you for the invitation to join the Circle of Friends - this invitation was like turning on the engine of this LV "car" and has taken me to a new place of respect for this channel.
Though I am still busy with the Lightfoot Tribute Team, it is time that I return to be a friend here.
Thank you Barb. You, and Mylady, Lynn L. of Ottawa, Canada, are like "Inner Circle Friends" I thank you both for keeping in touch with me during my recent dark months here at LV -
Ecclesiasticus 6:14:
A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.

| Wednesday, January 2, 2008 at 2:33 PM | | Live Video Channel Holiday Dear Friends I will be occupied for the next 6 months with a writing project and the Gordon Lightfoot video story Tribute on the other video host site. I will be monitoring messages but will not be an active Lividian - as has been the case for the past several months...will be in an LV Holiday. To new Subsribers - please know that no new video stories will be uploaded here. If you would like to see the Gordon Lightfoot tribute channel of Youtube check out thomasj157 - that more...is mine. I am working with a co-producer who has a comprhensive library of every song Gordon has recorded in his career - some 250 - our project is to produce and upload all of them. We have completed 31 to date.
All the best for 2008 - this is not a New Years Resolution - it is an artistic decision and I know those of you who have come to know me ... will understand.
To all who have been faithful and regular messaging friends I say - thank you for your energy - from the bottom of my heart.

Blowin' in the Wind is the latest uploaded production in response to a request from Judith at B4Salk. Judith sent me the following message:
"Mornin' Tom, you are so creative and inventive, I don't know how you do it! I'm sorry to say that I've never been very good at remembering artists and songs unfortunately. The draft mixdown will be wonderful, I just know it. I'm so upset about this ongoing war and it seems there is nothing I can do to help stop it. I voted for "the other guy" last time and you can see what that got me. I'm housebound by my disability and unable to attend any protests. Thanks so much."
Judith
Then she reminded us that September 21st is International Peace Day...let her request become an Anthem of Peace - ever since Cain slew Able we have been burdened with war and conflict - when will we ever learn - when will we ever learn.
Thank you Judith - tj less | |

| |  | Spanish Moss - Gordon Lightfoot - V78
03:49
About a month ago I mentioned to Lynn how much I liked Gordon's Spanish Moss - Lynn answered, you are entitled to a request or two you know , and so it more...is requested. The scenario that immediately came to mind is that Gordon met a southern Belle while performing in Savannah Georgia. Their relationship might have been for lifetime, had things gone differently ... and, she had a daughter that Gordon called " Spanish Moss"....just a thought that works for me. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the request dear Lynn!
Spanish Moss
(G) Let go darling, (G+) I can feel the (G6) night wind call (G7)
(Am) Guess I'd better (Bm) go
I (C) like you more than (G/B) half as much
As I (Am7) love your Spanish (D7) moss
(G) Spanish moss a-(G+)hanging down
(G6) Sweeter than the (G7) southern love we've (Am) found
(D) Spanish moss, (D7/F#) keeps on following my (C/G) thoughts a(G)round (C) (D)
(G) Georgia pine and (G+) ripple wine
(G6) Memories of Sa(G7)vannah summer(Am)time
(D) Spanish moss, (D7/F#) wish you knew what I was (C/G) say(G)ing
(Am) So I'm rolling north (D) thinking
Of the (G) way things (B7/F#) might have (Em) been (Dm)
If (C) she and (G/B) I could have (Am7) changed it all some(D)how (D7)
Spanish moss a-hanging down
Lofty as the sycamore you've found
Spanish moss, keeps on following my thoughts around
Georgia pine and ripple wine
Kisses mixed with moonshine and red clay
Spanish moss, wish you knew what I was saying
So I'm rolling north thinking
Of the way things might have been
If she and I could have changed it all somehow
Let go darling, I can feel the night wind call
The devil take the cost
I like the way your kisses flow and I love your Spanish moss less

| | Pussywillows Cattails - Gordon Lightfoot
03:07
Mouse contacted me, requested Pussywillows Cattails and then sent along most of the great images( except the pussy willows) used in this production. Not more...only that, mouse labeled the images to the lyric of the song. If you wan to get a request fast tracked here at the studio - mouse knows the way.
If Gordon sees this vistory I think he might agree that mouse's images were spot on the meaning of his lyric. Thank you mouse - will be pleased to co-produce as many of his tunes as you have images for!
Sincerely
tj
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Rainpools in the woodland water to my knees
Shivering quivering the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Catbirds and cornfields daydreams together
Riding on the roadside the dust gets in your eyes
Reveling, disheveling the summer nights can bring
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Slanted rays and colored days stark blue horizons
Naked limbs and wheat bins hazy afternoons
Voicing rejoicing the wine cups do bring
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Harsh nights and candlelights wood fires a-blazin'
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring remembering the promise of spring
Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses less

| |  | The Patriot's Dream - Gordon Lightfoot - for Jim Wilkins
06:04
The Patriot's Dream was requested by Jim Wilkinson and reprents the sensitivity Gordon Lightfoot has in his music and lyric.
The Patriot's Dream Lyrics
more...
Artist: Gordon Lightfoot (Buy Gordon Lightfoot CDs)
Album: Don Quixote
The songs of the wars are as old as the hills
They cling like the rust on the cold steel that kills
They tell of the boys who went down to the tracks
In a patriotic manner with the cold steel on their backs
The patriot's dream is as old as the sky
It lives in the lust of a cold callous lie
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills
The train pulled away on that glorious night
The drummer got drunk and the bugler got tight
While the boys in the back sang a song of good cheer
While riding off to glory in the spring of their years
The patriot's dream still lives on today
It makes mothers weep and it makes lovers pray
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills
Well there was a sad, sad lady
Weeping all night long
She received a sad, sad message
From a voice on the telephone
Her children were all sleeping
As she waited out the dawn
How could she tell those children
That their father was shot down
So she took them to her side that day
And she told them one by one
Your father was a good man ten thousand miles from home
He tried to do his duty and it took him straight to hell
He might be in some prison, I hope he's treated well
Well there was a young girl watching in the early afternoon
When she heard the name of someone who said he'd be home soon
And she wondered how they got him, but the papers did not tell
There would be no sweet reunion, there would be no wedding bells
So she took herself into her room and she turned the bed sheets down
And she cried into the silken folds of her new wedding gown
He tried to do his duty and it took him straight to hell
He might be in some prison, I hope he's treated well
Well there was an old man sitting in his mansion on the hill
And he thought of his good fortune and the time he'd yet o kill
Well he called to his wife one day, "Come sit with me awhile"
Then turning toward the sunset, he smiled a wicked smile
"Well I'd like to say I'm sorry for the sinful deeds I've done
But let me first remind you, I'm a patriotic son"
They tried to do their duty and it took 'em straight to hell
They might be in some prison, I hope they're treated well
The songs of the wars are as old as the hills
They cling like the rust on the cold steel that kills
They tell of the boys who went down to the tracks
In a patriotic manner with the cold steel on their backs
The train pulled away on that glorious night
The drummer got drunk and the bugler got tight
While the boys in the back sang a song of good cheer
While riding off to glory in the spring of their years
The patriot's dream still lives on today
It makes mothers weep and it makes lovers pray
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills less

|  | Leaves of Grass - Gordon Lightfoot - for Lynn
03:43
Sometimes when producing a Gordon Lightfoot vistory I get a lump in my throat and shivers up and down my spine - producing Leaves of Grass of Lynn ( Mylady) more...was one of those times. Lynn subscribed to my other channel and left the choice of a request up to me - this is for you, us and all who carry the wounds and memories of war in their family lore.

Leaves of Grass Lyrics
Artist: Gordon Lightfoot (Buy Gordon Lightfoot CDs)
Album: Sunday Concert
The leaves of grass will not pass on
Though the millstones grind them into dust
For the earth shall give life to them
But only the grass will grow once more
And the brave must fall to honor the names
Of the ones who have gone before
And the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once more
If people could look into each other's eyes
What a wonderful place this world would be
All strife would end, we could start again
And dreams like these must not pass on
But the brave keep falling to honor the names
Of the ones who have gone before
And the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once more
And the brave keep falling to honor the names
Of the ones who have gone before
And the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once more
The leaves of grass will not pass on
Though the millstones grind them into dust
For the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once more

08:46
This is a co-production with Proculled who lives in Northern Norway. We thought it would be neat to create a tribute to our respective homeland regions more...and artists - so Norway and Niagara became Norwa-gara. Hope you enjoy the images and the music form our respective homelands.
Proculled chose a soundtrack recorded by his countryman musician Sigmun Groven , and I chose a sound track of Neil Young.
In the case of Niagara Canada - most folks know or have heard about Niagara Falls - The Niagara Escarpment is our dominate feature and creates many falls along its route through our region. Images of these smaller lesser known falls were selected.
