See, now this is why Gord needs to have his stuff archived, maybe at the U of Toronto or somewhere in Ontario. He must have scads of paper re the business end of his work, tucked away at home, in storage, at EMP, with Beverly, etc. Definitive recordings, throwaway pieces, notes to himself, partial lyrics/music, first drafts, unfinished tracks, financial records, poster art and venue handbills, playlists - all the detritus of a working musician. It would doubtless amuse him that people would have the slightest interest in these things but I do hope *somebody* is squirreling this stuff away for a future Lightfoot museum or at least collection.
