Total newbie here... but I did have the good fortune to meet Gordon and the band many years ago when I worked backstage at Westbury Music Fair. I'd seen them perform many times (first concert when I was about 13 at "The Hub" in Hempstead, NY) and had front row seats for the show. Luckily, the security folks knew how much I REALLY wanted to finally meet the man behind the music and they let me and a friend backstage for a few moements. Since it was after the show, they were all gracious and friendly, stopping for a moment to chat about gigging and traveling all over. It was the ABSOLUTE COOLEST!!!
One note of interest -- Lightfoot was pretty legendary at the Music Fair because every time he came through, he demanded that we talk softly and turn off the A/C units while he tuned his guitars -- seems they hummmmmmmm.....
