Default My 1st concert : 10 years ago tonight!

Amazing as it is to me,it's been 10 years since I attended my very first Gordon
Lightfoot concert. I know more of you go all the way back to the 1960s but a 1st is a first.

Quite the experience,which I've talked of a few times since then on this site. Simply put,I requested a day off in advance from the job I had then,wet downtown early and finaly to the hall 1 hour before showtime.

Opened with Triangle,concluded with Old Dan's Records. As most of you have read,he talked about the movie Hail Hero,whose title I shouted out & he responded "You got it man".

After the show,was surprised how easy it was to get an autograph. He signed my ticket & a concert hall poster. Most famous person I ever met,& met again 3 more times.

A few months later,found this site.

That concert was on my late Grandmother's birthday as well,she'd have been 93 that day.

Thanks for reading guys.
