What draws us here is Lightfoot, the man and his music. He's head and shoulders above the rest (musians, songwriters, etc.) as has already been stated in previous posts.
What keeps me coming back to corfid is his fans. like I've said before, you reflect him. It came to me at my last concert. I had seats way off to the side on the main floor about 8 or 9 rows back. I watched not just Gord and the boys doing what they do best, but I watched the audience. I struck me that the average lightfoot fan is far more polite and courteous and such than the general public. It struck me that I didn't hear and profanity or other obnoxious behavior. In short, I liked these folks. I further occurred to me that it was as much the audience that made the "show" as much as the performers. This may be a bit of an overstatement, but not by much. These fans are as genuine as the man himself. Perhaps thats what I find so endearing.
Another curious thing since "discovering" corfid ... I find myself distinctly aware of Canada and her people as never before. I've also "met" Brits and Aussies as well, and found something unexpected and endearing as well.
Side note here, anyone familiar with Nova Scotia and can find a river call Moser River please let me know. My Grandmother (Dad's mom) her family is from there and her maiden name was Moser. A river, she said, was named after her great-grandfather. See, I have more Canadian in me that I thought. Grandma was very proud of her "roots" and spoke and wrote of her family and home... Nova Scotia.
Another thing I have observed about corfidians... we just can't stay on topic very well!!!! lol
later guys... gotta get back to work here.... (dang it!)
