Default Re: Ken Abell blog-Lightfoot/Summer Side of Life at 78

Thank you for sharing that - oddly enough, it reflected exactly how I've been feeling the past few days. I've been a huge fan (well, now I'm huge, back then I was much thinner) for 35 years and have seen Gord in concert over 20 times. The last time I saw him in concert was 1997, he doesn't seem to come to Northern California very often (or I haven't been paying good enough attention). Haven't been listening to music as much as I use to and dug out all my Lightfoot cd's. Today I was listening to Don Quixote, which might be my favorite. Those songs really took me back to my "summer side of life". I remember seeing Gord in Los Angeles when I was probably 19 - fantastic concert. I have a visual memory of how he looked, sounded, what he said, the audience, magic! It's too bad time can't be frozen. Since it has been 13 years since I've seen him live, am playing with the idea of going to a Massey Hall concert next year (if he won't come to me, I guess I'll need to go to him). I think that might be a fun thing to do!
