30 years ago I was at a very good Lightfoot concert that ended badly. Gordon left after the intermission. One year later, he returned to the same venue, a sober man. In an interview he did with the Saratoga Spings newspaper, he said he had been drunk at the concert the year before, that a relationship had ended, and that he had been sober since. The concert at one year sober was significantly better than the one the previous year! And each year they just get better, if you ask me! thanks for the reminder, and congratulations Gordon!

and in a few days it will be 10 years since his scary medical event of Sept.7, 2002.
I am so thankful he is still here and wanting to get on stage for his fans.

Now if we can stop those damn cigarettes!

If he doesn't stop smoking, than that's his own personal bussiness.

Apropos the subject matter of this thread
for anybody still drinking themselves here is a mildly amusing website
http://www.drinkify.org
"Drinkify is an awesome site that pairs what you’re listening to with a drink.
How does it work? Simple, you just type in the name of a music artist or band, and click the What Should I Drink?button. It will then generate a cocktail to pair with your music selection."

i am going to attach a screenshot of what it selected for me (your mileage may vary:it would be interesting to hear what you get if it is different to my pinot noir)
Cheers!!!!
