The topic, again, is Gordon Lightfoot as Robert Neil Speaks with music journalist and historian Nicholas Jennings about his book 'Lightfoot,' the authorized biography of the legendary Canadian singer/songwriter.
This episode is part two of a three-part series and focuses on Lightfoot's character, and how the Canadian legend's principles have sometimes kept him from achieving a higher degree of fame, yet, at the same time, have endeared him to his legions of fans.
The conversation includes stories involving Robbie Robertson and The Last Waltz, Bob Dylan, David Foster and Whitney Houston as well as the woman who inspired the very personal song "Sundown."
A video presentation of this episode is available on Robert Neil's YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuArgJm-6kaTVnILSic5lbQ).
Robert Neil is a journalist and songwriter based on the West Coast of the United States.
His current album is entitled '20-22,' by The Robert Neil Network, and the album includes the summer love song "Golden Beach" feat. Scott McDavid.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
