The price was $5.50!
Them were the gold ole days!

Them sure were the good ole days, you were privilege to have experience Lightfoot that way ! Thank's Kathy in Michigan.

I would have loved to see him in concert in the late 60's to mid 70's. John Fowles saw him in Montreal at the best of time, Expo 67 w/ Red Shea (Guitar) & John Stockfish. (Bass)

I have a clip of him doing "Did She Mention My Name" at The New Penelope in Montreal around that year (67). Burton Cummings & Randy Bachman were in the audience and they kept knudging themselves in the ribs saying one day that will be us... You can buy that DVD from Val's Site. Shakin All Over?

When I look at that young long blond hair kid, being so different than anybody else I was seeing in those days, it still today gives me goose bumps on my goose bumps.
