I am a lover of all things vintage CBC....Canadian Broadcasting Company. Pic here of the three Gordons. Gordan Downie( Tragically Hip...who is dying), Gordon Lightfoot, and Gordon Pinsent. Can ye remember Christopher Plummer who was the dad in The Sound Of Music? He is Canadian. He presented awards in Canada to our bestest. He, especially, presented to Gordon Pinsent...who was his co-star in Strafford, Ontario for Shakespear. Gordon Pinsent was the actor in that Canadian show that featured a really hot Mountie with a dog named Deif....he was the ghost dad, lol. He is from Newfoundland and I use to visit family who lived just down the street from him in Grand Falls, Newfoundland.

What hurts me the most is Gordon Downie's illness. He is dying from terminal brain cancer. I know the Americans loved Rush but Canadians feel that way about the Tragically Hip....what a band! He has not got a chance to get old...this is it. He is the guy on the far left and please listen to some of his songs. He did his last concert and song here in Canada last year. His fans joined in to sing along with him from all over Canada.

He was but now he is old. That is life lovey. Gordon Pinsent looks a lot younger but he cannot be lol. Must be all that Newfoundland air bye.

Here he is in 1969 with Johnny Cash

He had a good time when he was younger (guess all that partying finally caught up with him) :apologetic:

I LOVE Gordon Lightfoot. If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell...like the time back inna late 70s when my aunt gave me and my sisters two grocery sacks fulla her old 45s...and many of them were GF songs. Lordy, we played those records till they was smooth.

They don't make em like that no more.

My favorite, too. Is't that a wonderful song with haunting lyrics?
