Oh.... I love that one picture of Gord in that white suit.

I like your picture, Gloria! You look so Canadian even though you live in the States.
(Canadians always look so warm & friendly & easy going! I guess that's because they are, eh? LoL..)

I don't know how to post a picture but next time you guys are at eBay you csn look up my Katamar user ID. There's a picture of me there. It's obviously not a recent one & I suspect that my darling daughter once took a pencil to my teeth now that I look at it! OMG! LoL.. That BRAT!

I love the scrapbook idea but anyone who doesn't want to add a photo can draw a stick figure, etc. I'd probably use one of Shania Twain just to make him laugh. He'd go, "Yeah. Right... You wish!"

I once had a moment alone with Gordon when I asked him about where he was & what he was doing when he heard that Kennedy had been assassinated. He said he was filling his gas tank in Toronto & asked why I asked. I said because every single Lightfoot fan has a story about the moment they first heard him
seared into their memory. He was astounded. He could hardly believe it. He stopped tuning his quitar & tilted his head & looked me straight in the eyes. Sort of searching my eyes & silently asking, "Really? Is that a fact?" I just smiled & nodded "Yes." and he smiled. He was so pleased but also very humbled about it.(then I told him my own story)

I think it would be so nice if everyone were to take a scrapbook page with their name and maybe a picture to put a face to a name.. plus your website ID would be nice. And then tell your own story about when you first heard him & why it meant so much to you. I'd recommend keeping it to 1 page.. he gets kinda antsy. (LoL..) Just another idea to toss around. I can't get over all the neat scrapbook supplies at the crafts stores. I know you guys could make a gorgeous scrapbook. It would mean a lot to him.

I wonder if the little 5 year old girl from a Cleveland concert is at this website now - all grown up? It was around 1986-87 when I took her backstage to meet Gordon. SHE WAS A WRECK! She loved Gordon so much & he thought she was so cute. I'll bet he remembers her because she was so choked up. She was shaking & everything. She was beyond adorable!

I'll go back to lurkng occasionally now. Have fun with the project everyone!

(By the way, ladies: I found an old box in the attic today when I was putting away Christmas decorations.

Well, I'm still not much of a piano player, but OH, the pictures in those books!! Let's see, I have a scanner now. I can scan them, save them and somehow e-mail them, right? They are (he is) gorgeous!!!

Uh huh!!!! Absolutely gorgeous! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Have several Anthology Albums and some sheet music, one of which has the "most gorgeous"
photo!!! Have to go in search of that. Now, alas have to get to work, before our really "winter weather" hits. Our temps are going right off the charts.

Likewise....would love to contribute to the scrapbook. However, being most likely the MOST "computer iliterate" person here, it may take some doing. Perhaps it could be forwarded to you via "Sir John". I know that he can vouch for my ineptitude. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

And again the photos....YES...."gorgeous"...
Gord, I mean. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

It would be great to meet up with you, too, Steph. Is anyone else going to the Agoura Hills venue?

O.K., so Kathryn, is this the picture you'd like me to include in the scrapbook for Gord? If so, let me know and also send me some words of yours to go along with it for him.

hi sheryl, how do i send my picture to you for the scrapbook? having a little trouble here.

Steph, the easiest way to get your pic to Sheryl for the scrapbook is to email it to her as an attachment. As for posting it here, I'm afraid you'll have to find John's tutorial and follow his directions (it's repeated in several threads, you'll have to do a search for it). Not that I ever wanted to post pictures here, but I did try to read through it just so I could say I learned something new, but could never get very far as I'm always getting interrupted and it is very long. It is, however, a detailed step by step of what you need to do. Based on the results of others' attempts, it works real fine.

Yes, Stephannie, just e-mail it to me as an attachment. Thanks!

Thanks to whomever it was who posted the picture for me. (egads that thing is huge! LoL..) The group here has always been so kind & generous.

Sheryl... I've just reregistered under this ID because I can't remember the password to my orginal ID. (MidNightMisty) I used to hang out here a lot while I was seriously ill. (5 years ill - 2 years agonizingly slow recovery) Like Gordon, it was a freak gastro thing that knocked me to the floor & then kept me there but I'm OK now. Just trying to get my strength back. Anyway, I know how Gordon and Maheen feel being helplessly ill.
I actually had to scrape & claw my way through each & every moment to get through what I went through. It profoundly changed everything about me. I wonder how Gordon's experience has changed him? There's just no getting around it.

But lately I've been so busy living life again I haven't had much time to visit. I know I've missed a lot but I peeked in more while Gordon was ill. I was worried about him. I was worried about myself. What a mess.

Have a great time at the concert! (I'm originally from San Fran) Is this your first one? Please forgive seemingly stupid questions - I have a lot of reading to catch up on!

Take Care,
~Kate
