My son and I went to the Buffalo show last month and I am already looking forward to Chautauqua Institution next July. I will continue to go to see Gordon Lightfoot as long as he keeps playing.

Gord's voice isn't the same as it was when I first saw him in 1975 at the old Syria Mosque Theater in Pittsburgh and the other 13 times between that show and the one I saw last month but then whose is? He and the band are still having a ball and I still love watching his finger picking and Terry's lead work but then I am a certified guitar nut.

FWIW, I watched Penn State Coach Joe Paterno up in the press box at Ohio State last night on TV. He's lost a couple of steps too since I shook his hand at a sports banquet in 1968. They are also working their way to a shot at an National Championship and he's still having fun too. Hopefully, I will get to shake hands with Gordon and his band someday too.
