Thanks, Char - loved hearing Spanish Moss.

[charlene]

in pic #7335 is that Elizabeth Moon, the ex-Mrs. Lightfoot on the right?

[charlene]

Yes she was in attendance as she always is along with their two children Meredith and Miles. Fred and Ingrid were there as well. Fred had his little daughter with him who spoke with grandpa Gord looking as cute as a button in a fancy little dress and purse that daddy carried for her.. Meredith had a chocolate AND vanilla cake with candles and each said "Happy Birthday Daddy"...

I didn't recognize her at first, I have never seen her smile. I don't think I saw Miles either. Fred's little girl was a doll, so, so cute. Meredith is growing into quite a beauty and very talented.

[charlene]

I don't know if Miles was at Massey for any concerts, I didn't see him down front, or at the meet and greet on the last night with the birthday cakes but I did see him elsewhere later that night. He had his hair almost buzzed right off... He's very much like his father but not as much as Eric is.
It was cute to see Fred running around after his little girl and holding her fancy little purse for her..lol. When she came up to the line to speak with Gord it was lovely to see him bend over to talk to her. I think she was leaving to go home to bed and was saying goodnight.
I agree about Mer-very pretty and talented. Sings, plays guitar and piano.

OMG, what an amazing thread for SO many reasons. Ecstatic to hear Gordon's live version of "Circle of Steel!" Love the pictures, the videos, the family anecdotes, the Jimmy Buffett appreciation/acknowledgements of his inspiration, etc. Thanks, Char!
