Oh.... I love that one picture of Gord in that white suit.
I like your picture, Gloria! You look so Canadian even though you live in the States.
(Canadians always look so warm & friendly & easy going! I guess that's because they are, eh? LoL..)
I don't know how to post a picture but next time you guys are at eBay you csn look up my Katamar user ID. There's a picture of me there. It's obviously not a recent one & I suspect that my darling daughter once took a pencil to my teeth now that I look at it! OMG! LoL.. That BRAT!
I love the scrapbook idea but anyone who doesn't want to add a photo can draw a stick figure, etc. I'd probably use one of Shania Twain just to make him laugh. He'd go, "Yeah. Right... You wish!"
I once had a moment alone with Gordon when I asked him about where he was & what he was doing when he heard that Kennedy had been assassinated. He said he was filling his gas tank in Toronto & asked why I asked. I said because every single Lightfoot fan has a story about the moment they first heard him
seared into their memory. He was astounded. He could hardly believe it. He stopped tuning his quitar & tilted his head & looked me straight in the eyes. Sort of searching my eyes & silently asking, "Really? Is that a fact?" I just smiled & nodded "Yes." and he smiled. He was so pleased but also very humbled about it.(then I told him my own story)
I think it would be so nice if everyone were to take a scrapbook page with their name and maybe a picture to put a face to a name.. plus your website ID would be nice. And then tell your own story about when you first heard him & why it meant so much to you. I'd recommend keeping it to 1 page.. he gets kinda antsy. (LoL..) Just another idea to toss around. I can't get over all the neat scrapbook supplies at the crafts stores. I know you guys could make a gorgeous scrapbook. It would mean a lot to him.
I wonder if the little 5 year old girl from a Cleveland concert is at this website now - all grown up? It was around 1986-87 when I took her backstage to meet Gordon. SHE WAS A WRECK! She loved Gordon so much & he thought she was so cute. I'll bet he remembers her because she was so choked up. She was shaking & everything. She was beyond adorable!
I'll go back to lurkng occasionally now. Have fun with the project everyone!
