Nothing more to add. It's ironic; Saturday night I actually had a couple of hours with nothing in particular to do (doesn't happen often these days), so I turned on our local PBS station in Hartford, and the Live in Reno concert was on. I've always been a bigger Red Shea fan than Terry's, but I noticed some subtle things that he did that gave the Lightfoot sound his own special touch, and I'm sure he's had to make lots of adjustments as Gord's voice has gone through its many changes. He was, by all accounts, an extremely classy, sensitive and self-effacing man, as well as a hell of a musician. Not a bad life at all--just not nearly long enough.
