Perhaps you can tell us a bit about yourself Sandi. Do you have other published books?
Why did you choose to do a book about Lightfoot?

The message board here at CORFID is full of recounted moments/events that many of us have had with him over the years. Many are stories from folks who have never met him yet they all have the same underlying theme - a deep love and respect for a man and his music that has touched us and remained in our souls from the first listen of a Lightfoot tune regardless of when that moment happened.

Our lives have been enriched by his songs and we are thankful for every moment of pleasure they have given us. We are in awe that he came back from his terrible illness to continue this relationship with his most ardent fans. To say we care deeply about him is an understatement of immense proportions. He is a humble and gracious man, a proud Canadian and deserving of every accolade he's ever received or will in the future.

My life has been enriched beyond telling for his part in it.

And because of the enduring love I have for Lightfoot music and the man himself, I have come to know many like-minded souls who also have enriched my life.
