    What about Edmund Fitzgerald? I’ve heard that some performers get so tired of their most popular stuff that they eventually refuse to perform them. I read recently that Frank Sinatra would explode in fits of obscenities at the mention of Strangers in the Night.

    From the theater name, it is clear that they were “Alberta Bound.”

    Had to look him up. Hard to believe he’s over 80 and still performing. Plus, today is the first day of summer. Happy Summer Day. May you and Dan have many, many more of them. This would be a good day to go to a restaurant for breakfast or lunch and then, maybe to a movie tonight with extra butter on the popcorn.

    I always hear it as “every highway,” too.

    I saw Lightfoot at ABT around 1990! Glad to know he’s still touring.

    It’s not the one that goes “Every highway shall be exalted.” is it?

    I never knew there was a Laurel, MT before. The internet is very educational!
