Thanks for the warm welcome. I've been lucky enough to see GL in concert 4 times. First in Spokane, Wash in 1974?. I was 15 and I had tickets to both shows, about 3 rows from the front. I waited backstage forever to meet him, finally he came out and I got to say hello. I was so star struck. He said something to me and for the life of me, I just didn't hear what he said. I didn't want to say "Huh?" so I just smiled and he went on. I still wonder what he said.

Then I saw him again in 76, I believe. It was in Vancover. Then all the way to 85 in Kansa City. Then the last time I saw his face was in Columbia Mo a few years ago. It was wonderful, he sang everything and even took requests. It was great.
