Char: Thanks for sharing this article.

I have learned more about Gordon Lightfoot from this forum in the past few years than I knew in the previous 35 or 40. He's at a great place in his career and I have really enjoyed the shows he and the band have put on since he "retired" from songwriting. Two times in the past three years, I have had to postpone concert plans because of the arrival of my first two grandchildren. My grandson arrived three weeks early on the final night of the spring tour (5/27) but the good news is: they added a concert in Salamanca, NY in September which is a short hop from my house.

I find myself thinking of all of the songs that I still haven't heard him perform live over the years including (in no particular order): Mother of a Miner's Child, Highway Songs, Rainbow Trout, Seven Island Suite, Ode to Big Blue, Knotty Pine, Oh Linda, The Way I Feel and my personal favorite Morning Glory to name a few.

My son and I were sharing a beer last night and talking about my trip to Northern Ontario in two weeks which won't be complete without my Martin dread in tow.
