I found a little bit more information on the Central Michigan University Arts Almanac . . . basically same message as before, but with an added tidbit about the guitar:

"The Opera House in Cheboygan will present “Songs For A Winter’s Night: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot” on January 12th at 7:30 p.m. Guitarist Mike Fornes along with four musicians will recreate the original sound of the Gordon Lightfoot ensemble. Fornes had a replica of Lightfoot’s Gibson B-45 12-string guitar built for this concert. The music from the North will include such hits as “Sundown,” “If You Could Read My Mind” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” For ticket information call The Opera House at 231-627-5841."

Sounds like this musician has done much to be true to Gord's sound. I am heading up this evening for the show and am looking forward to it!

Anybody else going?
