Where were you when?:
1. You heard your first Lightfoot song?
2. Attended your first Lightfoot concert?
3. Bought your first Lightfoot record?
With regard to the above what thoughts, feelings and experiences did you have?
As for me:
First Lightfoot song I remember hearing was in the car in the early 70's and I remember being mesmerized. I recall going out and buying the albumn (the vinyl variety) almost immediately and I was instantaneously hooked.
The album?..."Sundown" and it is still my fav. today along with "Shadows" although I love them all when it gets right down to it.
First couple of times I saw Gord in concert was in the early 80's at Cincinnati Music Hall. I took different dates to both shows and they both got hooked on his music. I introduced my wife to Gordon in 1988 in Milwaukee, WI. (name of theatre escapes me) and she was enamored immediately. We both left the concert that night with that drunk feeling one gets from being in the presence of such a profound performer. Sadly, to date, it was the last Gordon Lightfoot concert I've attended. Perhaps we'll catch him on May 13 in Tiffin, Oh. Pray that we do please. God Bless all of you, and have some fun with the above questions.
