Restless,
Yes, I am the one who was passed information that was 2nd hand info. I do not want to call what I posted a reliable report. I don't know the person from whom the info came well enough. However, I do know others who work at the hospital. I do not ask specific questions of these two people because I don't want to break confidentiality (and put them in an uncomforatble and unprofessional position), but I have to confess, I have tried fishing for some very general info to help me understand what is happening. I don't want to post much more information that is not specific and verified because I don't want to offend the moderators or cause rumours that are incorrect. I'll just say that I've heard from one of these two people, and I may run into the other one tomorrow. Until I verify what I've heard to my satisfaction, I would not consider posting it, and even then I'm hesitant. I will say though that my knowledge of the situation can be summed up in this way: Gordon Lightfoot is very ill.
I am a huge fan, and I hope and pray that he will recover and be able to play Massey Hall again. If that happens, I will be there!
