Default Re: Review: Fans worship Lightfoot in the church of Gordon

there are two interesting links on that page from the Montreal Gazette
(The lesser of the two Montreal dailies in my time in that great city in the 60's. The Montreal Star is now a few curling and yellowing cuttings now for me)
1 a rather cheeky and lazy
"Do It Yourself" review of the Edmonton show
http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Revie...523/story.html

"Did you see Gordon Lightfoot's show at the Jubilee Auditorium on Tuesday night? What did you think of it? Post your comments below."
with a picture from Vancouver 's 10th April concert

and 2 a link to a Wall Street Journal feature on a new children's version of Don Quixote
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123941239263010411.html



"In a village, the name of which I don't quite remember, in La Mancha in the middle of Spain, there lived a country gentleman whose surname was Quesada or Quixada" -- or Quixote, as he later calls himself. So begins this satisfyingly substantial and delightfully illustrated children's version (for ages 9 and up) of Miguel de Cervantes's 1605 masterpiece. As adults may remember, "Don Quixote" recounts the peregrinations of a scrawny Spaniard who reads so many books about brave knights, distressed damsels and wicked sorcerers that he goes quite mad. Fancying himself to be a knight actuated by the highest impulses of chivalry, the crazy fellow sets off on his skinny horse,"
