Back in 2008 I was at the Massey Hall and the feeling and real affection for Gordy came out in that concert.
Massey is a classic 'home' for Lightfoot.
I'm really pleased I went to Oxford.
This is the last time I will see my favourite singer live.
Martyn.
PS. I often use his line, ' I wish you good spaces in the faraway places you go' when writing to people leaving for a holiday.
When my sister-in-law was at University, I always quoted a GL line at the end of the letter.
I can always find a Lightfoot song for any situation I'm in.
Very reassuring...

Were do you start to choose your best song. My song of the night was ' Drink yer glasses empty ' I have always thought that would be a good song for a pub to play at closing time. I like ' Biscuit City' don't know if Gord has ever sang it live, in fact the Salute album has a lot of great songs.
We were at Massey 99 and 01 and this will be the last time I see him unless he comes back. I was told not to video so that's why its not right, still its better than nothing
