I know Lighfoot doesn't do many on screen interviews, at least in the states...he seems to prefer print, usually conducted through phone lines. As a video professional and a Lightfoot fan I'd love to interview him on camera, perhaps with the idea of being placed on a fan site...no money making involved, which is often a sticking point on projects, just a non-profit-for the fans interview...they could even generate the questions. So Gord, if you're ever checking this site, and are in the Virginia area -- I'd love to get an interview.
I interviewed Ian Tyson some ten years ago for a video I did in graduate school...very cool guy, who spoke very highly of Red Shea & Gord.

You are right about Lightfoot not doing TV interviews. His last was with Peter Gzowski here in Toronto I think, back in 99 I think. Even when h's got upcoming shows at Massey his interviews for the papers in Toronto are usually done over the phone. If you want to put in a request you'd have to contact Barry Harvey, Gord's manager here in Toronto.

I requested one back when I interviewed Ian Tyson and was politely declined. But someday maybe!
