If anyone out there is thinking about joining us in NYC remember bjb here has two great tickets that are still available. Why sit in the balcony when you can be way up front. I promise not to throw popcorn at you. C'mon you only live once !

Bill :)

Thanks for the reminder, Bill -- sorry I won't see you all there!

The Town Hall confirmed that although I won't be there in person to pick up the tickets I paid for with my credit card, someone using my confirmation number can pick them up.

bjb,

Have you had any luck moving your tickets yet ?

Bill :)

Hi Bill,
Thanks for keeping track! Several possibilities have fallen through, so the tickets are still available. Great seats too, Row F.

BJ

In March I foolishly paid for two tickets for New York via Ticketmaster, I Now cannot afford to go! Ticketmasters website states that there can be no transfers to anyone else. These are willcall tickets, which means I had to have ID and a letter of authorisation etc. as the tickets were not purchased on my credit card. I Wanted to give these 2 tickets away to someone on this site, but don't know if I can. I Know i've left it late but is there anyway round this? I'd sooner someone have these, than see Gord seeing 2 empty seats! They are row G Orchestra seats, by the way.

Nice job with the song list. I was at the concert tonight - my first Lightfoot concert. Despite the vocals being a bit low in the beginning, I thought he and the band sounded great.

Okay, don't leave us hanging - was there anyone there last night who can fill in the blanks for the "song(s) I don't recognize" posted by JBG?

1) 14 Karet Gold
4) In ny Fashion
21)Clouds of Lonliness
10) The Watchman's gone
3) was "shadows"

If my memory serves me well ... and it usually does not. (John and Susan? Barbara?)

Thanks - always like to know what I was missing, LOL.

This is the consolidated, amended list (see, I'm sounding like the lawyer I am):

Right as always, Bill!

Did you see anyone you recognized besides me and John and Susan?

Thanks for filling us in, Bill. I'm sure your memory is just fine. I had already figured out Shadows and Clouds Of Loneliness (by context and omission), should have realized In My Fashion was missing from it's usual spot early in the show, should have thought of 14K Gold as an opener (but didn't), and had #10 down to Watchman or I Used To Be A Country Singer (1st set, 12 string song).

I think this set list was even more fun because it wasn't 100% complete!

That was Barbara, btw.

He didn't perform I Used To Be A Country Singer.

I love that he is doing The Watchman's Gone again, great tune. JBG, was this your first concert?

I LOVE 14 Karat Gold!! Great opening song!!

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

No. I saw him in Boston in 1981, New Jersey (Garden State Arts Center) in 1984, Stamford CT in 1994, and now, in Ridgefield CT in 2010.

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

Always did like that opening line of 'SUMMERTIME DREAM', makes for a good signature.

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

"Where the road runs down by the butternut grove"
non sequiter Omer???
nobody in this thread has butternut in his/her signature or were you are thinking of BillW's popcorn??

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

JBG does

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

Maybe but in my browser not one of JBG s postings in this or any other thread has any signature attched
weird?!

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

the proof is in the pudding, or this attachment anyhow...

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

Must be tapioca pudding. jj, are you available to produce a tutorial for Mr. Fowles ?

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

i am unavailable

hey, speaking of signature, please add back yours....all the newbies are missing out on the link to your very cool music site, as are we oldbies

www.jj.com
(i know, there's no such domain, but it will lead you to baby powder, etc)

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

oh man.

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

I appreciate the sentiment, but it's now considered part of the past.

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

Is this a random Moderator Muttering ?

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

pretty much..still on vacation mode..

Re: Town Hall NYC 10/29/05
 

amazing bit of photoshopping JJ
but you don't fool me every time!!!
I repeat I see no such signatures in my browsers
here is a screenshot
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfo..._signature.jpg
that is exactly what I see using my HP Mini 210 Netbook with Windows 7 and Internet Exploder 8 but it is the same on my Ferrari 3400 notebook with Windoze XP and IE8
another oddity I have for some time been deliberately omitting my own signature on my own postings yet your "doctored" screenshot alleges I did include it on that occasion
Also all such signatures are omitted on my Linux/OS2008/MAEMO Nokia N800 internet tablet which uses a Nokia customised version of the Opera browser triple weird!!
and Master Meason I haven't been able to stomach tapioca since my school boarding house days when it was known as "frog's spawn" so don't waste yer time on a tutorial jimmy
