This past March, Bev & I had the very good fortune to attend the Gordon Lightfoot concert at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. We were with a group of about a dozen people doing a tour of the Ryman, in the afternoon. At one point I noticed Gordon walking around the theatre, as he waited for the tour to end so they could do their sound check.

I told him how impressed I was with that beautifully restored old theatre. He agreed, and said something like, “This is what they’re going to do with Massey Hall”. He seemed very excited about the planned changes to Massey Hall. He also mentioned that because of the renovations, some of their Toronto shows in 2018 would likely be at the Sony Theatre.
This was probably the longest conversation I’ve had with Mr. Lightfoot. I was very pleased to hear that shows in 2018 were being planned.

After Massey Hall, this concert at the Ryman would have to be my favourite. Very much looking forward to seeing him play at the renovated Massey Hall.

Great to see both the old pictures of Massey from the seventies, and the images of the new Massey Hall.
