Gordon Lightfoot was very important to me in my formative college years. I spent the summer of 1976 at Forestry summer camp at Cloquet and Isabella MN with “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” playing on the local radio stations a bit before it hit the national airwaves. But “Don Quixote” was and is my favorite song of his as it seemed to tell a story I was very familiar with. Luckily, I was able to see him in concert twice. The first time at Ravinia (Highland Park, IL) in 1983 and the second at Chastain Park (Atlanta, GA) in 1995. This one hits real hard. I will leave with the following excerpt from Nicholas Jennings biography, Lightfoot . Like many great artists, he was a complex person.
