I, too, got Wolftrap on the 8th as a birthday present. My birthday is in May so I had an agonizing wait! My 26 year old son gave me this great gift and he was also my date. He's a Shania/Reba/Celine fan and I wasn't sure how he'd take this music. He was impressed and surprised that he knew some of the songs! He grew up hearing Mr. L's music on my stereo but he said he really didn't pay attention...imagine that! His only negative comment was that the t-shirt in the second set did not fit the music. I think I agree but have no suggestion as an alternative. I'd never seen Gordon Lightfoot live and was really amazed at how many people were at Wolftrap on a very hot night with a serious threat of thunderstorms. Amazing...I'm not alone in my "fandom". I like all the old, old songs but I think my favorite album is "East of Midnight". "Painter..." is growing on me...slowly. His voice on that album is different than earlier years but, strangely, his concert voice is somewhere in between then and now. Another of my kids asked me if I would go again...probably. Now let's see...how far is Wabash or Fort Wayne from my mom's house in South Bend...hmmm!
