"Legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot charms fans last night at Place des Arts.

On Gord's chin is what may be a new small and dense mini beard, and if it were not for the shadow of a regular mic on his geetar,I would be certain that it is what looks to me like a head mounted near mouth microphone,which would presumably then be part of a headset with earphones replacing the usual wedge on the floor through which Gord could if he wished hear the other members of the "Orchestra".
I think I was told by somebody who would know that Gord alone in the band does not use a wedge at all.
(the other members wedges are individually fed with the sound from whichever other member(s) each individual requires for their own cueing purposes apparently).So just maybe this is a new addition to his personal concert equipment. No doubt I will be able to see for myself next week.
