I saw Gord twice in '99. Although his voice is not what it used to be, it was incredible just seeing the man who has brought so much incredible music and memories to this world, and to my life over the years. At a live concert, a true fan can forgive the passage of time, and enjoy just being in the same room with a poet, legend, and genius. Music is more than just the sound one remembers from recordings, but how it makes you feel inside. I traveled many miles to see Gordon Lightfoot. I hung on every word sung and every word spoken. I took it for what it was. A wonderful evening of words, melodies, and music that I love and will continue to play, study, learn from, and listen to until I make no sound at all...
