Hi Peewee,

Boy to actually write to a guy that has been so close to my (musical hero) idol Gordon Lightfoot, for so many years.

You will never know how many times I have watch the 1980 'Olympic Tribute' program Lightfoot & you guys did @ the CNE, on CBC television w/ Liona Boyd, The Good Brothers, late great Harry Chapin, & Caroll Baker.

It was the first program I recorded way back when VCR's was starting to be in households. Gord not doing much TV in those days, that show was a treasure to me.

I think you are from Kitchener,Ont ? I have many relatives over there, and it is my second home.

Hope to get to see The George Canyon Christmas Concert @ The Capitol Theatre here in Moncton NB, this December, and get to shake your hand.

PS: Tell George that now Moncton has a new Arts Centre here, Wesleyan Arts Centre which seats around 2000. Many artist have already performed @ that new place including, Mr. Las Vegas... Wayne Newton !

Hoping if Lightfoot ever gets back this way, that will be where his concert will be ??

I already contacted the people of the theatre, and they would be honoUred to have Gordon Lightfoot @ their facility.

Like Cathy says please do write a book.

Warmest regards,

~ Jesse Joe ~
