That happens to most musicians; they wind up with a couple of signature songs that get played to death and may not even be their best work. People on average prefer the familiar. If the crowd starts cheering when the song starts, that's a good sign that it's been overexposed.I love Gordon Lightfoot but The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was played so often over and over by every radio station in WNY that I can't stand it. Later I was a docent (train operator/guide) at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum and we had a model named the Edmund Fitzgerald sitting next to an ore dock so I'd explain how the ore dock works and someone would mention that song. Ugh.
