Sundown: Saying goodbye to Gordon Lightfoot

Send us a text

Canadian music icon Gordon Lightfoot was laid to rest earlier this week in Orillia. With almost 4 million albums sold, 16 Juno Awards and four #1 hits, Lightfoot left an indelible mark not only on the music industry, but on his beloved hometown of Orillia. This week, Frisco and Scott talk to two friends who knew Lighfoot very well: Pam Carter, from the Mariposa Folk Foundation, and Karen Hilfman Millson, the retired United Church minister who was the officiant a Lighfoot’s private funeral — at his request. The legend lives on, and always will.
