hi char!

i just got a private message and was wondering if its spam, cause i've never seen spam in my inbox before.. has anyone reported spam as a PM?.. hope all's well up in gordland!

hi charlene

is gordon lightfoot still alive

Good luck !- let me know how it goes and post all about the trip and show when you can.
I don't know when I'll get to another show before Massey in November but Calgary and Edmonton were fabulous. Gord sure knows how to surprise me after intermission! At least I was in attendance this time!
lol
take care,
Char

Thanks Char,
What a great picture summary of your wonderful trip to Calgary & Edmunton. Thanks for the EMP address. I do know they often try to limit the backstage visitors. In fact, when I saw Gordon last Oct 1st in St. Louis with my son & daughter, we didn't have any credentials to get backstage and were told to "go away." It was my son, Tim, that sternly told the usher: "Tell the drummer (Barry Keane) that the Quinns are out here asking to get in" Within about 5 or 10 minutes we were admitted inside because Barry remembers us. Hopefully that will help. But, I will of course respect the desire to limit the crowd.
By the way, thanks for everything you do -- this is such a great newsgroup and you do a fantastic job as it's moderator.
Take good care & thanks for the address of EMP.

Hi TIm - just back from the Calgary, Edmonton shows..
I'll write it up tomorrow. Had a lovely time and the shows were awesome.
There were very few backstage folks - In calgary there 2 on the list (me and Bonnie) and 4 others were added just prior to the show..
Backstage in edmonton had about 10 people only. gord doesn't spend much time after the shows and it looked like the folks backstage were industry types and friends of the band members.
Give it a try tho..let me know how it works out..

Char,

I will be out in the Washington DC area when Gord is scheduled to play at Wolf Trap which is located in Vienna, VA (a suburb of DC).

I will be joined by my brother and sister and their spouses, all also longtime Lightfoot fans like myself. I'd like to try to write to Anne at EMP in Toronto about getting backstage passes. I know that avid GL fans have been successful at getting passes sent out from the Toronto Office. Do you know if they are still doing that? If so, do you have the EMP address?

Thanks much, Char. Hope all is well with you and your family.

Tim

I enjoyed reading your interview with "Mr. Lightfoot".
