Not for us this time. My wife and I are dealing with job and health problems at the moment, so a trip across the pond isn't in the cards till at least sometime next year.

RE: Bitter Green (my first Lightfoot 45...) The heroine of the story is supposed to be the mother of Gabriel Dumont, Louis Riel's military leader. As I recall from his live intro to the tune when he was recording the Sunday Concert album, she had a tragic life, and Dumont came to be known as "The Bastard Son of the Whore of Pig's Eye".
