What a great thread this is and thank you Ed for commenting here.

It's very nice to read comments that keep alive wonderful memories of Barry Harvey who was so closely connected to the journey and have passed on before us but still very much alive. A dedicated man he was.

May I take this opportunity also, as Ed doesn't comment here often, that Ed Mullen is a very special guy in my life.

He's the one who welcomed me into the Gordon Lightfoot family back in the days of the Google Newsgroup, "Net People" as Gord refers to us. Till that point, I thought I was alone, lost in this brilliant music, all on my own.

No apologies though, not ever, to anyone.

Fast forward here:

It wasn't until Marian from the Mountains and I got settled back to live out our "golden years" here in Toronto that I had an opportunity to view that amazing and very first "Gordon Light Tribute" concert performance at Caffe Lena in Sarasota Springs, NY.

A ton of work went into that gig and those folks traveled far and wide to make this the very first "Gordon Lightfoot Tribute" concert. Kudos to you guys!

Thanks Barry for allowing it to happen.
