I got my ticket last night(Thursday) and will be leaving Friday ..in a couple of hours actually.. because of my illness (lupus) I have to stay over at a motel to rest... driving 300 miles will take alot out of me. I did manage to get right upfront section 102 right center row J seat 7..I'm so excited..feel like a teenager..LOL..he's the only singer I have ever truly liked..and just finally getting a life long dream realized is a miracle for me. A few years before my husband died he asked me if I had a chance to have anything I wanted what would it be..I said to get to see Gordon Lightfoot in concert and maybe meet him. He set out to make sure I had all his records (18 yrs ago CD's were just coming out) and even made me up a special cassette tape of my favorite songs and some he dedicated to me with narration. After he died..I played that tape so much it wore out... My favorite of course Spanish Moss...Beautiful he dedicated to me..and the last album to come out right before he died, he added one he also dedicated to me..I'll prove my love. I know my husband somehow had a hand in my being able to go to this. I was just told by my Dr today I am going to have to have surgery on the 9th of February..it's going to be risky..I could end up with a stroke or worse.. I better try and get some sleep..will report to you how I enjoyed it..and if I can get a picture of me with him I will post it...thanks so much for giving me the chance to get to know him better through you!
Thanks, melanie
PS..are you sure it will be ok to look for his tour bus? 432-466-1673
