Best count: 27 shows since Northrup Minneapolis '82. 6 states, 2 countries including the Massey shows in 2001 (live tracks on Harmony).. was at the recent Minneapolis show also and hope it's not the last..

also, ..but.. and quite ironically, I was in a bar the other night and a guy next to me (who I did not know; who was reading a book) struck up a conversation with me, and proceeded to show me a ticket stub, which he had just recently discovered in this book he had been reading (which he had just aquired apparently, at a used book store nearby; and who was now using this ticket stub as a book mark etc.; the ticket stub? the Lightfoot show from Northrup '82; my very first one. I didn't explain this to him, but I thanked him all the same, and headed down the road, a little astounded.. The uncanny thing is that the introduction and explanation of the book mark, were the entirety of the interaction.. with this stranger.. so.. mighty funny and strange, indeed.. this thing life.. and how the time does fly..
