Early Morning Rain - Gordon Lightfoot (Cover)

On our way back from Maple Mountain in September, we awoke to steady rain one morning but it wasn't until we broke camp that the wind picked up. At one point the wind was pushing my canoe sideways towards some rocks and I was asking myself, “what the hell are you doing out here?” But sometimes it’s good to test yourself, even though we were cold and wet, the sense of accomplishment when we reached the shore, mixed with a hot beverage was euphoric. We were huddled under a tarp, playing some tunes to pass the time when my friend asked if I knew how to play Early Morning Rain by Gordon Lightfoot. I was regretful to inform him that I did not, but from then on, the song was stuck in my head. When we got back from the trip I started practicing. Originally it was just going to be acoustic, and then one thing lead to another...

This song makes me feel so nostalgic and grateful for life, even though I'm not sure if I've honestly heard it before. Trust in the wind, the flow, the process, seems like it knows where to take us 🤲

Beautiful voice. Why didn't I get to hear you when I was tuning your Mom's piano.

[@MattSteeves]

Thank you, Kevin! I remember meeting you as a kid when you came to tune our piano.. I think I was out of town when you came just recently... One of my goals this year is to learn a bit of piano, I'll try to remember to play lightly ;)

This is an awesome version, really nice voice and great production. I went to school with your uncle Al and he was a great man. May he rest in peace. Keep them coming.

[@MattSteeves]

Thank you so much, Eric. Alan taught me a great deal of life lessons without him even knowing it, just by being the person he was, kind. thank you for taking the time :)
