Lightfoot
Inducted in Canadian Songwriters' Hall of Fame
 September
25, 2003 - We have all hummed to at least one or two of his songs
and now Gordon Lightfoot has been inducted in the new Canadian Songwriters'
Hall of Fame. Lightfoot who almost died last year from an abdominal
hemorrhage was present at the ceremony yesterday but had to leave
early. The ailing singer had to slip quietly away before he could
be formally acknowledged. Canadian Idol winner Ryan Malcolm was on
hand as Hall of Fame president Sylvia Tyson read the inductees names
including the late Alfred Bryan, considered a forefather of Canadian
songwriting, Nova Scotia country singer Hank Snow and early Quebec
celebrities Felix Leclerc and Madame Bolduc.
