I was at the Mariposa Hall of Fame induction of Ian & Sylvia at Hugh's Room in Toronto tonight (last night, technically). Was surprised and delighted to see Lightfoot at the center table along with Ian & Sylvia and others. He got a great ovation from the crowd when he went onstage to say a few words about Ian & Sylvia. Modest as usual, he talked about their generosity to him in the early days--he said theirs was the first recording of a Lightfoot song.
