Kris was my first introduction to Lightfoot! I have always thought he was gorgeous and sexy and still do-he has "something." He's coming to Toronto in March and playing at a wonderful venue at the University of Toronto - Convocation Hall - I saw Lyle Lovett there a few years ago.
Kris's music is as dear to me as Lightfoots is and I am hoping to see him in March. The first time was May 1973 at Massey and Lightfoot got up and sang Bobby Magee with him.....I had run out of film (I have some superb pics of Kris and Rita) so was thrilled to see a pic of them in the Songbook booklet! It will be almost 33 years between Kris concerts if I do get down to see him...I love his music, his voice and his honest humility. He gets emotional and is not afraid to show it on TV when speaking of his friends and family. He's a lovely man and my one moment in the airport in Toronto airport in 1988 with him is etched in my memory forever....wish I had a pic!
His "Austin Sessions" from a few years ago is a superb collection of his hits, many done as duets.
I wonder if Lightfoot will attend the show at Convocation Hall like he did Massey back in 1973????
hmmmm.......
If I remember I just might ask him on the 13th......
