Re: Durham NC article

Welcome, Jim!

I too became aware of this wonderful site after writing a column that was discovered, through the wonder of the internet, by our intrepid moderator, Char. Although it took me a lot...

Anyone who is able to watch this, please enjoy BNL for me. Sigh.

Re: Raleigh setlist

Does it seem that Gordon is responding more to shouted requests, changing the songlist based on what people are asking for? I don't think I've ever personally seen that happen.

Re: Greensboro is here, Please post soon!

How difficult this first show must have been for all of them. It won't really get easier, but at least it will begin to feel more familiar. Thank you for the report.

Re: POLL: Best overall segment from BBC Live '71

Okay, here goes:

Re: Carter Lancaster article

The fingerpick style could end up being a cool hybrid of Red and Terry. I can't wait to hear it. This was a good article, although when did Terry ever "stand in the middleground?"

Re: Lovely tribute for a baseball great

Re: Who could Gord get to replace Terry?

Rob, I've been wondering about that, too. Actually, I was thinking perhaps one of Terry's guitars, and Char suggested the empty stool.

Re: Condolence/sympathy/memories messages - post here

To Gordon, Rick, Barry, and Mike:

I was terribly saddened to hear that Terry had passed away. I remember seeing you all in Aurora, IL in 2005 and being amazed at Terry's playing on "Never Too...

Re: Terry

So very sorry to hear this news. I will remember Terry's mischievous smile as he played, and his immense talent. He will be greatly missed.

Re: Canadian Health Care

Very well said, Char. I now donate to the hospital where Matt's surgery was performed, so that other people in similar situations will also receive help. But there's just no way of knowing how many...

Re: Canadian Health Care

I (along with many others) sent a fax to our newly-elected representative, asking that, since he voted to repeal ObamaCare, he also opt out of the Congressional health care program.

Re: Canadian Health Care

Fortunately, both the hospital and the surgeon had a "Helping Hearts" program that allowed them to forgive part of the debt. The rest Matt was able to slowly pay off once he graduated and began...

Re: Canadian Health Care

When my older son was 23, he broke his wrist, which was then improperly casted. He needed to have it surgically re-broken and re-set. It cost him over $13,000 because he was still a student, had no...

Re: Which Lightfoot Do You Like Best?

While it almost goes without saying that you can't really go wrong with whichever era you choose, I always seem to go back to the songs from 1970-76. Six of my personal Top Ten are from this period....
