Might be a short concert. He didn’t have a boatload of hits.

He did have a boatload of excellent tunes though.

I think my favorites other than “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald” were “Whispers Of The North” and “Protocol. “

I worked with a girl who went to his concert back in the day. I don’t remember her telling me it was particularly short.

He may not have had the commercial success (number of charted hits) that his contempories had, but his songs were truly stories from his soul and I’d rather listen to him than artists from today.

He had a lot of hit songs. I saw him in concert in 1995.

He had enough hits to earn him $58,000,000 over the past year and his net worth is close to $200,000,000.

He's about 80 years old and he likes to read.

"The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" is about my favorite song of all time. Up there with "Riders On The Storm" by The Doors and "Tangled Up In Blues" by Bob Dylan. In fact just about anything by Bob Dylan is my favorite song of all time.
