I was one of those Lightfoot fans won over at that house concert. I walked in totally unfamiliar with Dave Mallett's music and walked out a new fan with two CDs.
Much thanks to Jenney and Val (and of course, Dave, himself) for making that possible. It's good to see you here at this little cyber water cooler, Joan, and it was good to meet you Saturday night along with the other Mallett fans who joined us for this wonderful house concert! Dave did a fine job on several of our favorite Lightfoot songs and definitely eased the pain of not being in Toronto.

I'm wondering how many of you Lightfoot fans are familiar with Dave Mallett. I was recently at a small house concert where Dave played for a group of diehard lightheads who had reserved the weekend to see Lightfoot in Toronto, but of course, were not able to. David was there to ease their pain with his own renditions of the songs of the person who greatly inspired his songwriting. He did this so well, but also, not surprisingly, won over a bunch of new fans with his own amazing compositions.
