I think that was Ed's wife Sharman (the other "char" in his life) - during the Charbeque I was so overwhelmed with all these folks in my home I don't remember if I ate or drank anything! lol
50+ 'strangers' to meet all at once was quite something! Looking back at the video and pictures really brings back the memories of so many amazing people and the friends they've become to me.
It's a special sort of people who are Lightfoot fans fer sure.

The piano was bought when my son was 7 (1991) and started taking Royal Conservatory piano lessons. He took them for about 9 years and then took up guitar. He also plays trumpet and drums and sings..and does a really nasty little Lightfoot impression..rotten kid!

The piano is a Toronto made Heintzman and is about 100 years old..James said it was in tune a couple of months ago when he was here and to me it sounded great.
As Ron says - he is much much too modest about his talents - he plays guitar and keyboards as well and sings too..his video editing skills gave us the Friends of Lightfoot video and it is superb.
I was gobsmacked when he got up on stage at the pub..I really thought he'd only play guitar but then he started singing! It really was fabulous.. I certainly hope Sir John got it on video..
Hey John - didja??
