Don Quixote - Gordon Lightfoot - V43
Don Quijote de la Mancha (IPA: [doŋkiˈxoteð̞elaˈmantʃa], but see spelling and pronunciation below), fully titled El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha ("The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha") is an early novel written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Cervantes created a fictional origin for the story based upon a manuscript by the invented Moorish historian, Cide Hamete Benengeli.The protagonist, Alonso Quixano, is a country gentleman who has read so many stories of chivalry that he descends into fantasy and becomes convinced he is a knight errant. Together with his earthy squire Sancho Panza, the self-styled "Don Quixote de la Mancha" sets out in search of adventure. The "lady" for whom Quixote seeks to toil is Dulcinea del Toboso, an imaginary object crafted from a neighbouring farm girl (her real name is Aldonza Lorenzo) by the illusion-struck "knight" to be the object of his courtly love. "Dulcinea" is totally unaware of Quixote's feelings for her, nor does she actually appear in the novel.Published in two volumes a decade apart, Don Quixote is the most influential work of literature to emerge from the Spanish Golden Age and perhaps the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, it regularly appears at or near the top of lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published[1] and is the best-selling non-religious, non-political work of fiction of all time.Link For online discussions about Gordon Lightfoot , his music and related topics http://www.corfid.com/Link to Gordon Lightfoot website maintained by Wayne Francis http://www.lightfoot.ca/Note to All Viewers: This Tribute Channel is for the sole purpose of sharing the experience of the magnificent music of Gordon Lightfoot.

Love the song. Why are Osama and Bush in it though?

There was a question about the image at 2:27 - " Was that Bush ?" .... removed by accident - my apologies - the answer is "yes it is!" - and can you identify the image that preceeds it?CheerstjThe Lightfoot Tribute Team

All of his music brings vivid images to my mind . His songs take me to places in my imagination . I just have to put on his music and I am there .

Personally, I think that this song was the one that started me on music. The richness, yet simplicity, allowed me to picture what is happening in my head. I listened to this and found that it gave me an idea about a story. I began to write seriously after listening to this song. the end result is all thanks to this influential song. I would be a very different person if it was not for this song...
