I have 2 favorites.

First and foremost is my Songbook boxed set autographed by the MAN at a concert in NYC in August 2000. It was the first time I met Gord and it was thrilling.

Second is a ticket from the April 14, 2002 Keswick PA concert which I did NOT attend because a good friend chose that night to get married (geesh). Nevertheless, Char, Silverheels and a few other wonderful Lightfoot buddies took my ticket to the concert and Gord autographed it with

"Sorry David, you missed the show. Gordon Lightfoot"

That ticket reminds me not only of Gord, but also of the wonderful people I have met who are also fans of his.

One other object deserves honorable mention. After the Coral Springs concert in 2001, Gord used my cellphone to speak to Silverheels in England, who hadn't seen him in nearly 20 years. Gord told SH that the weather in Florida was hot and moist, and SH responded that she was rather "hot and moist" herself! ROTFLMAO!

The picture of "THE CALL" is priceless, as is the cellphone, which I presented to Silverheels as a momento after the phone contract expired. But I think of that as Silverheels' momento rather than mine.

So many great memories!
