Dear Mr. Lightfoot,

I want to wish you a very Happy 68th Birthday. The years fly by for all of us but one thing remains consistent – your music. I get so much pleasure from listening to you it is truly indescribable. No other music has ever touched me the way yours does.

I will be coming to your concert in Montreal on November 9th and can’t wait to see you perform again.

Take care of yourself…we don’t want any more health problems to happen to you…and Happy, Happy Birthday!

Simply put, you “light up my life”!

Hi Gordon, I hope your birthday is a great one, surrounded by all of those who love you.

I just want to say thank you for making music that is good for the soul. You are, quite simply, the best. :)

I saw you in September at the Riverside in Milwaukee and thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Please come back to the area soon!

Wishing you happiness and good health,

XO

Happy 68th, Gord! Great to see you'll be home for the festivities. I hope your next birthday finds you in even better health. Hang loose!

Mr. Lightfoot, if I may, given the prescribed medium, I offer a modest thought-poem of my own as a small gift: As the tides go, the wind blows, but still we look at time the way we did that first moment of life. Sunlight flirts with the waves while the leaves devour snowflakes as they fall; the geese laugh as they journey south, yet we still have the life as we saw it that first moment of time. Does the time slip away, do the pages fade or does the story ever grow cold, only if we let them, only if we let our spirit dim and only if we let our minds become weary. Mr. Lightfoot, I thank you for the robust collection of art you have imparted upon us thus far. I thank you for the lessons, for the experiences shared, for all the beauty and magnificent visions, for the pictures and tones, stories and poetry that set numerous stages within this man’s life; I thank you for the empathy, at times a source of strength, for just being there, whether you knew it or not. I appreciate those songs you give, which I still lean on or use as charts to navigate some of life’s more treacherous channels. Oh, the power of music, the mystical sway of art! Mr. Lightfoot, I anxiously await the new wonders and gems you are going to unleash on us as time goes forward; I look forward to those paintings and the canvases that lie ahead. Happy Birthday! Walls………

Mr. Gord,

Thanks for many years of music, memories, and all that goes with them. Happy B-day, and here's wishing you many more. I'm gonna raise one for you, and, as they say, drink my glass empty. Even if it is just a Dr. Pepper.

Best Wishes to you,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORDON SEE YOU IN HARRISBURG IN APRIL STAY STRONG

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORDON! I'LL BE AT THE HARRISBURG SHOW AS WELL!!!

I'd like to add that I had the privilege of meeting you at your concert in Wlliamsport PA in April '02. You were gracious enough to sign my copies of Gord's Gold (both volumes). These are very prominently displayed in my home and I consider them to be, quite literally, priceless. When we had to be evacuated due to flooding last summer they were the first things I packed! They're a higher priority than even my guitar. I can always get another guitar.

One more comment. IMHO this should be a National Holiday in Canada!

Happy Birthday, Gordon! :) Have a great day, and thanks for sharing your wonderful music with all of your fans. You're the best! :)

Gordon, I had the good fortune to be able to sit right in front of you at the opening night Massey Hall show. I have to say that my musical tastes have normally veered to "big band" rock sounds with horn sections, etc., so it's a real testament to the depth and quality of your music and composing that I count you as one of my musical heroes and a major influence on my (rather limited) musical abilities.

Best wishes for your birthday, as well as for good health and energy, in the hopes that you will continue to perform and delight fans the world over for many years to come!

Hey there Gordon, I hope you're having a FANTASTIC birthday!! :D

Happy Birthday Gord!!, and many many more!!
Keep the wonderful music coming!!!

I missed you in Prince George in October. Your concert was during my move to that area.
Hopefully you'll come back there soon for another concert... or better yet, Burns Lake!. I promise I won't miss it.

Gordy,
Many, many happy returns on your special day. I just love your music! luv.m.
