A wonderful review from Don Ketchum. You have a great looking, and informative, growing web site Val. Alway's a pleasure to go in there, and snoop around... Many thank's. ;) :)

Yes Char, you and I and a bunch of other people are always happy to know that he's doing SDYS. I told Don that he quoted my favorite Lightfoot quote (which it is).

And thanks, JJ, for your kind words about my web site. Actually, I started the site back in May, 1998. I took it down for a year and a half, but finally brought it back and have been having fun with it again. If you poke back in the Article Archive, to April, 2002, you'll see that I even got to interview Gord!

When I get paid Friday,I'm coming here Sat. afternoon & printing out that review! :cool:

He recalled that joke about the "dancing girls" backstage that totally slipped my mind. :D That was way funny! Thanks Val!!

Of couse all thanks go to Gordon himself. ;)

Well I just finish reading the entire interview... :cool:

Congratulations Val, very good interview. You are a lucky Lighthead. :D

I enjoyed the guitar talk, he really likes the Shubb Capo. So I will never get rid of mine. :D

It is indeed a great capo. How's your guitar playing, coming along? :rolleyes:

He, like myself, doesn't like the # 13. He had mentioned it on his radio interview with Fan 590. And he told you that a CD these days, you have to put 12 to 14 songs... :)

Anyway thanks again Val, and keep up the good work that you do on your Web site. ~Jesse~ :)

Yeah, Val. How's the guitar playing coming along? Have you taken the D19GL out of the case lately? Hey, it's really BAD to not play a guitar as nice as that one. If you need to find a good home for it, I can make a couple of suggestions... Cathy Cowette's house and Cathy Cowette's house.

It's still a D18GL, last I looked. And no, I haven't taken it out in a long time, but I do open the case periodically to re-wet the sponges. Last time I did that, I thought I should really make some time to play it. But, as always, there just isn't any time. I'm still hoping. Maybe soon ...

If not Cathy Cowett's house then Jesse-Joe's house is open for it... :D :redface: :eek: :)

Dream on, folks.

I finally put new strings on the D-15. It was sounding pretty bad. The strings were over a year old! I remember when I used to change them every 3 months!

Well,as stated,I just printed out the review of last Sunday's show. :) Thanks again Val for putting that up there. :cool:

I don't really buy the Arizona Republic paper,except for the classifieds anymore.

I pretty much figured,also,if TV-News wasn't interested enough to cover it,then that paper wuldn't say anything either. So,I would have not seen that review at all. ;) Thanks a million!! :D

The review was not in the paper. Don wrote it for me. He's actually a sportswriter, but has covered Lightfoot shows in the past for The Arizona Republic and others. So, when he went to the concert, he just decided he would enjoy reviewing it.

Very cool :cool:
