Funny looking back over this post,
In Houston all the top 40 stations played the promo 45, and
that was the only copy I ever had of the song.
Chop the 6:27 LP version down to 5:57, then further to
5:23.
Basically 30 second cuts for 45 and promo.
The 2 AOR stations played the LP version.
I can't remember ever hearing the single release ever
played in Houston.

At the risk of veering OT...this song, as much as I love it,
will haunt me forever. When I was on Jeopardy, this Final
Jeopardy clue stumped all 3 of us. I'm still bummed that I
didn't make the connection to this song. Any guesses?

THE GREAT LAKES: An 1855 poem gives us this Native
American name for the 1 Great Lake not known to us today by
a Native American word or a tribe's name

It would have to be Gitche-Gumee from the first line of the song. I wasn't familiar with the poem ("The Song Of Hiawatha"), but I just looked it up, and it's referenced there, too, in the last part.

Very good! That factoid could have been worth, like,
$20,000. With more time, I might have gotten there but 30
seconds goes fast.

During the credits, I mentioned the Lightfoot connection to
Alex Trebek (another Canadian legend). Alex was polite but
didn't seem impressed.
