I appreciate that hfan. I too have spent countless hours worrying and speculating since that night in Orillia a month ago about things concerning Gord. It does no good to do so is the conclusion I have come to. I would dearly love more info but since it won't be coming my way any time soon I try to take the negative thoughts and make them positive by thinking of the next time I will see The Legend that is Lightfoot walk out on stage and how profoundly greatful we all will be. Even if the Lightfoot children don't ever look on the net for things about their father I would like to uphold the families' wish for privacy. Whether I agree or not - it is their wish. I would only hope the same would be done for me if circumstances were switched.
My thoughts also go to the EMP folks (Barry and Anne)and of course the boys in the band.
Stay strong and keep the faith.

Auburn Annie,

Thank you for your post. The main thing is, Gord's improving & that's the best news we've had since the start.

Annie,
You jump right over everyone's attempt to apologize, for what I'm not sure, and launch into a lecture. What's up?

Bill, what Annie posted wasn’t a lecture. It was just one more in a long line of possible explanations as to why we aren’t getting the details that some feel we should be getting.

Moving on to a comment directed to everyone: Restless keeps saying that we should continue to ‘post commentary’ and yet every time someone does, it is met with ridicule. I’m talking about comments and ridicule from BOTH sides of the fence that has been erected here. If all of you keep this up, no one will feel comfortable posting and this wonderful site will fizzle away like I’ve seen so many others do - a lot of the regular posters have already stopped posting. I have watched this forum go through a lot of changes in the last three years. Until now, they have been positive changes. All I can say is, I finally give up. Knock yourselves out! The last one standing can stand all alone in what used to be a friendly, supportive place to come and talk about Lightfoot’s music. A bit melodramatic, you say? Maybe so, but ‘fed up’ sometimes leads to melodrama.

Janice,

I'm cool with AA, I was just concerned that she was upset. As for the longtime posters who aren't posting anymore: some announced they were leaving before the current crisis, some, IMO, are in shock, which is normal. This type of stress tears up even "real" families so I'm not surprised at what's going on. Saddened but not surprised. If you change your mind, we'll leave a light on for you. Farewell.
Bill
