Imitation is the sincerest of flattery

Whatever you call it, no other way to learn your craft
by imitating others
Ask Bob Dylan about Woody Guthrie or Beyonce about Tina
That is just the way the works

a lot of Lightfoot in these songs, congratulations
You're correct, he was the greatness my mediocrity to emulate

It wasn't until four years ago that I really got to
I was lucky enough to be in Toronto Gordan played Massey Hall
the I always heard you had to see Lightfoot
we spent a delightful visit backstage after the show
When I got around to thanking him for his inspiration

days
Thank You Gordan and I pass it on
