Hi Jim!

I'm thinking Mr. Lightfoot should come to Durham! I've travelled so many places to see him, so, selfishly, I wish he'd come to my town. The beautiful Carolina Theatre would be an excellent venue for him, and the folk shows usually do sell out, and DPAC is an outstanding venue. The show in Asheville a few years ago was quite well-attended, too.

I was just re-reading your editorial from last year. I'm quite sure we must have attended some of the same concerts over the years. The year the album containing Nous Vivons Ensemble came out I convinced our French teacher that we should learn the lyrics and attend the concert at Wake Forest University. Playing Lightfoot over & over in French class + live concert - WIN. It was quite the thrill! A few years later I had the pleasure of hearing him at Carolina.

And yes, I shall be happy to pay to hear him whisper.
