Hi all. I recently started a public facebook page chronicling my life before and after weight loss surgery. One of the photo albums I created for it is called "A Tale of the T-shirt" Quite a few of you are on my personal facebook page so you've seen it. But for those who havent I thought it would be nice to post some of the pics here since it has to do with GL.

I was lucky and privilieged enough to be able to go back stage after his concerts several times in the late 90s and the early 2000s. One of the best memories was of Massey Hall 2001 when I went backstage after the concerts and got to meet him before the shows along with several other Lightheads who'd traveled to Toronto to see the shows.

I'll always have great memories of meeting Gord and the band. Gord and Terry were particularly kind to me and I can truly say that every time I got to see them and talk to them was a special occasion. It was especially meaningful because being so heavy at the time made me feel like a complete outcast in so many situations. It was nice to feel like I belonged.

After I had bypass and lost the weight, I discovered my Lightfoot Massey Hall convention T shirt hanging in my closet. I tried it on and the difference was so astounding I created a photo album for it on my page.

It was always my dream to meet Gord and the band again and take a picture with them again so I could have photos with them that I'm proud of. Sadly that wont happen with Terry, but hopefully some day I'll get a chance to say hello and get a snapshot with Gord. He's met so many people over the years, I wonder if he'd even remember or recognize me.

The page and everything on it is public so if you have facebook you can view it even if you aren't on my personal page. For those who don't have Facebook I've posted a few pictures here. If you want to see the entire page PM me and I'll send you a link.
