I was researching something and came across this site..Mr. Usherson posted about a pic of his here a while back.

Lots of great pics of Lightfoot/Kristofferson/Coolidge,Dan Hill, Riverboat, Tysons, Harry CHapin, Leon Redbone, John Prine, Nickelodeon, '76 Olympic concert, Crowbar, Ramblin'Jack Elliott, Lighthouse, Burton Cummings, Bruce Cockburn, Murray McLauchlan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Steve Goodman, Rochdale (for you Toronto folks), Good Brothers, Ronnie Hawkins, Liona Boyd ..
there's a SEARCH section..

Lightfoot has 1971 - 2003 section, pics from 3/5/2010 @Atlanta and 2/15/2008, @ Atlanta

pics of Kathy Smith, Cathy Coonley, Fred, Ingrid as kids, playing pool in Rosedale house, backstage at Massey, onstage with Kris and Rita..

some have been seen I'm sure but what a great collection..!
Love that in pic 137 he has a denim shirt on in a pic taken in 1970 and the same shirt sans sleeves turns up as a vest in the BBC4 video of IYCRMM of 1972 that was posted the other day...he was all about re-use and recycle back then! lol

Wow . . . what an impressive collection, especially the folder with the old photos. 204 of them and definitely worth a look for any who haven't. Some were familiar, but there were many I'd never seen before.

Besides often wearing the same outfits, here are a few thoughts I had while looking at the pix:

- he's smiling in some, but for the most part, Gord just does not look to me like a guy who's very happy. That's doesn't seem the case these days.

- in so many of the off stage pictures, he has a drink and or a smoke in hand. Also not something you're likely to see in a photo these days.

- how fantastic would it have been to see him perform at the Riverboat or Nickelodeon (on drums!).

- I would be so great to see him do even one of the piano tunes at Massey again.

OK that's enough.

OK, you take photo 137, I'll take 139. What else can one buy with $100,000.00 these days, anyway, lol! (I was reading the zeros correctly, wasn't I?)

How in the world do you find all of this AWESOME "stuff"?:clap:

I can't swear to it,but I don't THINK its Brita.I'm fairly certain Brita was a blond. What a great bunch of photos.
I'll have to look at them more closely later,or I'll never get to sleep to night.
