He's always been very kind to me over the years and I can only speak from my own personal acquaintance with Bernie.
I'll never forget what he said, and how he said it back in 2001 when I commented to him how generous it was of Lightfoot to take time from his busy schedule on a concert day to meet with a large group of us before a Massey concert. He smiled and said "he's a sweetheart of a man, a real sweetheart." In his voice I sensed a genuine care and love for his long time friend. It touched me quite deeply and I'm glad I had that moment with him. For over 40 years they have been business associates and friends through all that their personal lives and professional lives has brought them. It's not all been a bed of roses I'm sure.
Seeing them walk into Hugh's Room with Bernie carrying Gordon's guitar and going upstairs with him to make sure all was okay is testament to their association. I don't imagine Gordon lets just anyone walk around with his guitar..!
