I haven't posted to this list for a long time, but I'm sure some of you will remember me as the person who tried to make it to Toronto to one of Gordon's concerts, but never made it due to financial considerations. Several people on this list were very gracious and extremely helpful to me and I have not forgotten it. And, because I seem to live under a rock, and never seem to know what is happening outside my backyard, I wasn't even aware he was coming to Vermont until John Fowles emailed me! Thank you John once again!
Saturday night I saw Gordon Lightfoot for the first time in concert...I'm still almost speechless. I had a great seat in the 4th row with no obstructions, so I was very close to him on stage, and I was mesmerized. I can't even tell you much about what he sang, except he was great! He was incredible! It appeared to me that much of the audience was in a similar state of awe like me. It's an experience I will never forget.
I'm sure John will write his commentary of the evening to fill in my many blanks. It was a thrill for me to meet John since he's such a gracious man and full of information regarding Gordon. I got to talk with him extensively at dinner. Also it was wonderful to meet Susan, Skip, Jenny and Joan. (Hope I have everyone's name correctly).
I will never forget this concert. It proves one thing to me and that is....I love Gordon Lightfoot and his remarkable music, always have and always will!
