I wish you a wonderfully "Happy Birthday" Gordon Lightfoot!!
I want you to know that I am 29 and since I can remember I have been listening to your wonderful music. My mother was a huge fan and she could always be found with a drink in her hand, candles burning & a "Gordon Lightfoot" eight track playing. So needless to say I was raised on you.
Luckily, before my mother passed away in 1991, she was able to see in concert in Des Moines, IA. I know it was one of lifes highlights for her! So, at her funeral we played a trilogy of your songs. "The Last Time I saw Her", "Wherefore And Why",and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". We know she was smiling down on us that day.
I have seen you in concert twice in Des Moines and they were both the best ever! I just want to wish you a Happy Birthday and to say that "If You Could Read My Mind", you know I would be saying THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth from Webster City, IA
