Happy Birthday and many, many more, Gordon Light(of my Life)foot. The first time ever I saw your face... at a concert in Fort Worth, Texas, mid seventies. Cannot tell you how many LP's I bought over and over again because was sure I heard the slightest scratchy noise of imperfection, and feared I would never hear it the same way again, so perfectly exquisite as you were on stage. Never wrote a fan letter, save that one, before or since, seeing you in concert. Cried worshipful tears for two days just because you were so perfect. Just discovered the early songs on the Songbook, 'Remember Me', and 'It's Too Late.'Youth is so painfully gorgeous but so, too, is a life well seasoned. We will always remember you, Gordon.
