I decided to use this topic to mention an important note about today,August 6th.
2 years ago today,I attended my 1st Gordon Lightfoot Show at the Dodge theatre here in Phoenix on a nice balmy Tuesday night. Those that know this story know it already but if you don't,I not only saw a concert but met him and the band and got autographs too.

When the concert fell on August 6th,it seemed rather out of this world to me because that's also my late Grandmother's birthday. It was almost like a gift from her to me,if you think about it.

As for the other questions:I first heard GL on a radio station out of Erie,PA in the summer of 74. "Sundown" of course.

I bought my first GL 45 (Sundown also) in 1988 at an oldies record store called The Prickley Pair. My first LP,"Gord's Gold" was at a yard sale sometime in the late 80s. (1st CD's were the Songbook one's on 8/7/01.)

Feel free,if you like and haven't yet,to mention your 1st GL concert experience and the other two. I can't believe it didn't go past one page! ....but then again,this topic is from only a few months after this site started.

Been me. Later!
