Hi everybody,
I've been frequenting this board for about 3 yrs now and have learned a lot from all or you (thanks!)
I am 31 now and have been a fan since my first Lightfoot show at Massey Hall about 5 yrs ago when I sat in the very front row, just off to the side. I walked away dying to get my hands on some lightfoot material (I had none at the time!) Since then, I've bought many cd's and a few collections including the box set (which is excellent...they all are actually). I've been to one other Lightfoot show and that was in '01 I think on his birthday if I'm not mistaken (Nov 11?) I didn't have tickets for the shows that were cancelled. I even bought an acoustic guitar 16 mnths ago to try and play some of Gord's songs! It's not easy starting from scratch but I'm pretty determined....I can play 'You'll still be needing me' to some extent (At the time, it's my favourite Gord song. I have a new favourite every few days.
Anyhow, I live in Toronto (sometimes I actually drive by his house to take a scenic short-cut - no I don't stalk the guy, I'm in Real Estate so I enjoy scenic drives, especially The Bridle Path area.) I'm wondering....do you all know eachother personally? or just know eachother by 'username'?
Also, do any of you plan on getting together before or after the show on Friday May 20th? I'd love to meet other Lightfoot fans (of my group of friends, only 1 other is a bit familiar with his music, so I don't get to talk about his music much)...
I'd love to meet some of you - you all seem to be ....very...humble - which I like.
BTW, my seats are RCG (Right Centre Gallery) Row B, seats 92 and 93. I saw some good seats on ebay if anyone is interested in those.
O.k., that's it for now - I'll check for any responses later - thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you.
RS Toronto
