I've been reading about these tribute concerts in the Toronto area, and one thought just occured to me, is there a drummer??

The reason I ask is that I have been around drums since I was 5 years old, and just like Barry Keane I am basically self taught with a few lessons tossed in.

Being a fan of Gordon Lightfoot's music all these years, most if not all the tunes are permanently etched in my brain... anyway I had been away from the drums for a long hiatus and have been busy getting my wrists and legs back in shape as I will be getting a Pearl Forum drumset set soon... ( my electric set only does so much)

Since October of 2003 I have been asked to sit in on the drums for various private functions, Christmas parties, birthday parties and I just recieved a request asking if I would consider being involved with my highschool's reunion.

I commented to my landlord who plays keyboard semi professionally that ultimately I would like to get involved with a Lightfoot tribute band of some sort and of course I was greeted with a look of skepticism.

Any thoughts on making this a reality??
