I originally posted this topic in Jessie-Joe's "Crazy things done aquiring Lightfoot merchandise". Maybe off topic?? No response at all. (at least tell me to "drop off" if appropriate.)
Perhaps I'll repost here in hopes of being told that I am totally crazy, or maybe some other nut out there can dream too.

For Gord's 70th birthday, let's all save up and meet in British Columbia. (still two years to prepare)
We could book a 'pullman' dome car or two and the "Corfid Express" could "chug" easterly throgh the magnificent rockies. We could be "drinkin' bad whiskey" (or not) while paying homage to the "lackies" who lost their lives constructing this unrecognized wonder of the world.
The tremendous talent in our "Corfid Family" could help us belt out 'Canadian Railroad Trilogy', 'Steel Rail Blues', 'Alberta Bound' as well as all the other gems - then do it all over again!! Mile after 'Clickety Clack' mile!
Talent? Why not video tape and edit the trip to be presented to Gord after we pull into Union Station and march up Yonge Street to Massey Hall.
Maybe some of us with better connections could even get some of the Pro's Gord has infuenced to do a short video spot to be mixed into the project (Ian & Sylvia to Aengus Finnan. I even hear that Elvis has recently been seen in Michigan)
(for some of us rather "long in the tooth" it might be our "last hurrah"!)
What 'd'ya think?
I figure it is between that or we all pitch in for a dozen roses to fling onto the stage at intermission.
(shhhh!!!don't let him know what we decide)
