you know i wonder if Lightfoot or most famous people of anykind would even bother joining such groups like these? i belong to many yahoo groups especially music groups and no one famous has ever joined. they are either to busy or just don't wanna for whatever reasons. 1 reason i can think of is when they're not at work they might want to forget about it. witch is understandable when you stop to think about it. that's just my guess. it's not easy being famous.

Yeah I know the feeling! I work for a plumbing supplier and when I get home I don't even want to sit on the toilet...

SM your pictures aren't coming through anymore http://www.corfid.com/ubb/frown.gif.
Have you ever fixed any famous toilets? I worked FedEx for a while and met John Elway (Broncos quarterback) and Annie Denver (JOhn Denver's ex). Wasn't too exciting though.

I don't fix 'em. I just sell 'em. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

and sit on them.

Some do take part in lists and boards. I know John Stewart occasionally posts to his list and I believe there are a few others.

Lightfoot has always said he does not utilize the WWW so you will never ever see a post from him here, although if I was Barry I would strongly urge him to have someone create his own controlled website. Some artists do this, the only board I know of where members of the band actually post is Worlds Apart by Saga, the band members periodically post messages but it's not very often.

i wonder why?

i wonder why?

Time and interest, probably. If you weren't born into the age of computer use, the technology can be intimidating (or the idea of it, anyway.) Some artists are very into websites, real hands-on, others farm it out, still others have little or no web presence. At least Gord has the Linus web page, such as it is. And sites like Wayne Francis' website. And the fan newsgroup and this discussion forum. He's too guarded about his personal life to chat online with who knows who's at the other end. Much better to chat in person after a concert.
