My first time writing to say that I saw Mr. Lightfoot in 1976 when he played in Wichita, KS. That night after the concert, all his guitars were stolen & he said he's never return. It's taken 31 years & now he will be here next Tues.
I've been off work following knee surgery & return on Mon 6/25. Because I work 2nd shift, I will NOT be able to attend his concert at the Orpheum Theatre on 6/27; however, in my mind I will be. Hospital schedules can be pretty inflexible, so there is no coming at the last minute. While I am sure it will packed at the Orpheum that night, I hope he will know that not everyone who wants to be there will be. Still, I'm thankful Wichita is on his schedule. It certainly looks like a hectic schedule.
On a related note, we try to visit the Kenora/ Minaki, Ont. area of the beautiful country of Canada every summer. What an absolutely awesome place. We love the country and the people. Gordon Lightfoot represents them so well.
