I thought it might be fun to hear from everyone as to the reasons why we continue to attend Lightfoot concerts year in and year out.

The primary reason I attend his concerts is not necessarily to "be entertained." I attend out of love, devotion, admiration, and respect for the man. For me, it's really quite simple. Gord's songs, and yes, his voice (past and present), are in my heart. Attending his concerts is a way for he and I to "spend time together." It's a bit like a marriage, you know, for better and worse.... And I will always be a faithful and devoted fan. The melodies, the lyrics, and the man, they are the reasons I will keep going back, because as we all know, time marches on, and forever is a long time to regret missing a chance to "spend time together" with someone you love.
