Crazy or just Devoted? A fine line amongst many 'Lightheads".

Spending far too much on rare vinyl, or buying a weeks worth of shows at a yearly Massey stint? We've all driven far too many miles to take in a Lightfoot show, yet would do it all again the next day if the possibility presented itself.

Returning from a solo camping trip from the "Muskokas", I found myself approaching the exit ramp for Orillia Ontario. Parked the car in town and walked some of the streets that Gord no doubt hung out on in his youth. Found a record store (or some 'five & dime') as my memory has become inversely proportional to my age.

I was delighted to find two K-Tel pressings of Gord's music. Of course, had to have anything with Gord's name on it, no matter how hokey.

Gord's K-Tels from Orillia!!! Not a crazy act in itself, but without a doubt, a crazy acquisition.

But they're MINE!, all MINE!!! heh, heh, heh....
