Lightfoot likes it that way. "Let‘s relax.

Now his third generation of fans are just beginning to enjoy the true beauty of everything he writes about, learning to appreciate the cherished splendor of the Canadian landscape that his melodic soundscapes have always so brilliantly sketched into hearts young and old. â€" Chronicle Special Gordon Lightfoot‘s recent Centre in the Square stint was a thorough discography of his finest works, ringing of life and love from an old familiar friend. Last year, Lightfoot received a Juno Hall of Fame Award in recognition of his oustanding influence and inspiration to the Canadian music industry. Now flourishing in his music journey, Lightfoot‘s not sure if he wants to record anything for a while. Hopefully he‘ll change his mind. For Lightfoot‘s work is the history of Canada‘s peoples, a travelogue of dreams and homespun spirit, juxtaposed in a magical sound only Lightfoot can create. Many in the Centre aisles recalled a time where the Orillia Ontario legend would just get up and play, with little regard for the eyes of admiration that followed his every move along the guitar frets, ears awed by his acute observation of life and flawless string technique. Little wonder he called early hit Canadian Railway Triology his *‘*contribution to Canadian culture."" And it‘s no surprise Lightfoot‘s tried to roll with the modern technology. Latest album East of Midnight was entirely produced and written by Lightfoot, with the exception of Anything for Love, produced by Canadian ‘Quincy Jones‘ David Foster. Unlike Jones, Foster (Bryan sghallow overâ€"rated stage gimmick groups, with megaâ€"light columns, amoke machines, and glitzy costume imagery do not a true performer make. It‘s words and music that count, which is why Adams, The Payolas) has a tendency to lavishly overproduce performers aiming them for MOR oblivion. Lightfoot performed Anything for Love solo with tape format arranged by Foster himself for live performance. The result was disappointing, as the singer strode across the stage, mike in hand, the essence of Light{foot temporarily suspended in the banal, homogenized Foster sound. Though Lightfoot proclaimed the critics disdain for this song, he added fans liked it and dolloped this syrupy love ballad into his evening repertoire,.the only downfall in a Guess you can‘t blame Lightfoot for trying, but one audience member‘s ‘‘Why don‘t you play some real music‘‘ protest was enough to drive the point home.

Lightfoot, aware of this Centre trait, was always aimiable, never missing an opportunity for hometown focus when it came to Ringwald, whose roots and good friends were dotted everywhere in the house. In a wellâ€"constructed second set, Lightfoot breezed through an old Leroy Van Dyke ditty The Auctioneer, a vintage tune from his old sgingleâ€"barâ€"act days. Lead guitarist Terry Clements accompanied Lightfoot on an intimate arrangement of East of Midnight, with buamckllaym,bm.lmyl{em.m.nd Mike , keyboards, slowly mixed into the second show half, which showcased Ringwald‘s pedal steel assets.
