Ridgefield, Connecticut Nov. 11, 2015
Gordon Lightfoot's voice was extremely good, at least compared to the July appearance in Manhattan. He wished the crowd a good Veteran's Day. He mentioned that he was going to perform "Drink Yer Glasses Empty" as sort of a tribute to Veteran's Day, and mentioned his Canadian backgroiund.
When he sang "Drink Yer Glasses Empty" he mentioned writing it in conjunction with Desert Storm, and I suppose analogizing it to being "back in '39 when (he) was one year old." That of course was a few months after the start of World War II. A nice touch.I suppose one of things I like about Gord is that he seems to be a history buff; just like I am.
