vlmagee Thoughts on Gordon Lightfoot (63* d) RE: Thoughts on Gordon Lightfoot 08 Jun 01


Thank you Joy. I am sorry for not responding to your post earlier, but I couldn't think of anything to say other than "thanks", and "me too". My web site is a "labor of love", as you can see if you visit it.

As far as logging on to this site (Mudcat), or any site, I don't think our Gord is Internet savvy. He knows about it - the good and the bad - but last I knew, he didn't even have a computer at home. He does, however, have a sense of the wide following he has - and of the many people on the Internet who love his music and have been able to share that love with other people because of the Internet. There were about 70 of us as a group at his concerts in Toronto (and undoubtedly others that we didn't know). Most of us once thought we were the only one! As I said in my review of the Saturday concert, he dedicated a song to us - Sit Down Young Stranger. And the wonderful thing about it was that several of us had independently requested it!

I don't know how much the folks here want to talk about Lightfoot, but if you get me started I won't stop! Feel free to write me directly as well (e-mail address is at my web site).

PS: If you haven't discovered his boxed set yet (Songbook, Rhino Records, 1999), you are in for a real treat!
