Hi

I have a question for people who have listened to Lightfoot considerably longer than I have.

Have there been times where you think you might listen to him too much, or, say, listen to one of his albums way too much, and you get "saturated" or "sick of it" for a while? Getting "sick of it" doesn't mean you don't like it anymore, it means that you liked it SO much that you couldn't stop listening to it, and ironically, you got a little tired of it because you feel you played it too much or something.

If this has ever happened, does the thrill come back, and if so, how long does it take to come back? For example, if you start listening to other artists for a couple of days and quit for 2 days of listening to Lightfoot, does the "sick of it" syndrome die down and you bounce back? I'm just curious.
