Welcome Back Victor Schiegg

After a 55 year absence we welcome back fellow Coachmen Vic Schiegg!  Please give your personal "Welcome Back" to Vic . . . his email address is . . .   vschiegg@gmail.com . . .  Make sure you add Vic to your "Coachmen Group"

Vic, I must say, everyone looks forward to "welcoming back" our old members because they get to hear our "Welcome Back" Theme song.  Some members tell me they are "sick to death of this song and promise to inflict suffering and pain if I play it again!"  But I know they secretly LOVE this song.  So . . . here it is again just for you . . .

Hanging in the background is the banner that was carefully crafted and presented to the club by Tom Westover.  Thank you very much Tom, for your thoughtful gift.  The banner will be signed by all members and soon be on its way back to Seattle for the next step in Tom's program.  

Feature
          Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Meredith Lightfoot, Jr. (born November 17, 1938) is a Canadian singer-songwriter who achieved international success in folk, folk-rock, and country music, and has been credited for helping define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 1970s. He has been referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter and internationally as a folk-rock legend. wiki
Lightfoot was a featured musical performer at the opening ceremonies of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary, Alberta.  He received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree (arts) in 1979 and the Companion of the Order of Canada—Canada's highest civilian honor—in 2003. wiki
Lightfoot's recordings made an impact on the international music charts as well in the 1970s, with songs such as "If You Could Read My Mind" (1970) (#5 on the US chart), "Sundown" (1974), "Carefree Highway" (1974), "Rainy Day People" (1975), all reaching #1, and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (1976) wiki
In November 1997, Lightfoot was awarded the Governor General"s Performing Arts Award, Canada's highest honour in the performing arts.  On February 6, 2012, Lightfoot was presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Media by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.  wiki
Bonus
"Me and Bobby McGee".  Most of us are familiar with the Janis Joplin version of this song.  Well, here is a kinder, gentler version of that song.  Hope you like it.
Till Next Week

Ugh! That song is so putrid that it needs to buried, Harv. Can't you find something more appropriate to welcome our hero Vic? Like 'Skinny Minny' or 'Shebop Duwop' or like that?

OK Jerry, I know you secretly LOVE the "Welcome Back" song. So I'll just ignore your post!
