After reading ELizabeth's review of Wolf Trap I had to add a few comments regarding the Keswick show.
Last night Gordon Lightfoot was in the zone ! He was as close to perfect as I have ever seen. He was chatty, he was funny, and his voice was GREAT. He seemed to be taking a new approach to some lines and making some vocal changes but whatever it was, it was working. He rarely seemed to be stretching or 'missing' anything. One of the jokes was the one about "why is the moon pale ? because it's been out all night !" I said something about not quitting his day job but I was kidding. He's got great comic timing and delivery, even with some corny material. The line about "I wrote this for my 2nd ex-old lady" was delivered just right with the proper smirk/sneer thing that had us rolling.
He even shifted gears to include "Song For A Winter's Night" for someone who had "requested" it (hollered it actually) and he was most gracious when someone came up between songs with a bunch of flowers. He was cooking on all burners.
My wife said it was the best she had ever seen of him.
Just wanted to throw that out there.
