[B]Where were you when?:
1. You heard your first Lightfoot song?
The actual geographic location I am unsure of, but I do know I was in a 1973 Oldsmobile Omega (of course it wasn't so old back then, my dad bought it new for my mom) and I rather desperately wanted to listen to Pete's Dragon for what must have been the millionth time and my parents vetoed that and put in Don Quixote (we had a tape deck that we hooked up to the cigarette lighter back then) and I was hooked. By the end of the trip they were probably begging me to take out GL and put in Pete's Dragon. As I recall, I was quite curious about the line in Alberta Bound "and if you got the money you can get yourself a honey"....and of course my parents, when asked, were as perplexed as I was and had no idea what this line meant....
2. Attended your first Lightfoot concert?
ok, this was only two weeks ago in Tacoma, Wa.....the city where I was born.
3. Bought your first Lightfoot record?
well, the first actual GL I personally bought was when I moved to Ca. Before then I listened to my dad's records. So when I moved out I had to go about buying them all on my own.
Thoughts, feelings, and experiences....
1. life changing
2. awe inspiring
3. um...not too much for the third question.

bottles, beads and cigarettes and lovers that i ain't found yet. Picking with a friend 'til dawn, singing all those hi'way songs.
