The T-Shirts and sketches sold outside Massey are not authorized by Lightfoot or EMP. Those folks show up at all kinds of venues around town.. He has never sold anything (perhaps some CD's a few years ago) at Massey. He doesn't want his fans beholden to purchase things. They are there for the music..
He's still smoking...and Barry smoked as well..
There's been much discussion about the changes in Lightfoots voice since the drinking stopped and the weight loss of the early 80's and the smoking and then in 2002 the abdominal hemorrage....plus the fact that he, like us has aged..
