I looked at Wayne's website (lightfoot.ca)and saw that Gord is planning a three-concert weekend swing through Minnesota on Sept. 21-23, 2007. (Rochester, Minneapolis, and Duluth.) Mark your calendars now.

Monday, I will be putting my vacation request in at work for a four-day weekend and three straight nights of Gord.

I was at the Sept 15 (Harris, Michigan) and Sept 17, 2006 (Minneapolis) concerts when Gord was affected by his mini-stroke. What a profile in courage and dedication for working through those problems. I hope that Gord will be in fine form and health during the upcoming tour.

You can count on setlists and reviews !!

I'm waiting patiently for them to add a Michigan concert or two. I mapquested Minneapolis and it's over 600 miles...just too darn far.

I have never been to more than one concert in a row. Now that would be heaven!

Yippee, yippee, yippee!!! I can't believe it! I'm only 60 miles from Rochester, MN! Seafarer, if you were here right now I'd give you a big fat smack on the lips!!

Hmmmm, Duluth is about an 8 hour drive for me from Michigan. I may just make that trip, unless he books something closer. :)

I guess EM Prod means the people that set up the concert dates? Makes sense to me now, sorry.

Can I just add one more...

Yippee!

OK now I need expert advice (from you guys) on how to suggest to my husband that we go to 3 concerts, 3 nights in a row? He's a fan, but not a fanatic like me. Any suggestions?

Kathy in Michigan 02-26-2007 08:48 PM

Gitch,
Good luck with that! If you figure it out, let me know...the husband thing is what I'm talkin' about. I'm thinking I'll give him 3 or 4 drinks first? Mine just wouldn't go for it, otherwise.

Maybe we should hitch up and ditch our husbands. I'm only half jesting.

Kathy in Michigan 02-27-2007 07:54 PM

G.
Minnesota is really just too far or I'd say let's ditch them!!!

I could talk him into one concert, but he would probably think I went over the edge if I wanted to see 3 in a row!

To Bill W and Formerly Violet (?) I checked with Wolf Trap today and Gordon is not including it in his tour this summer. :( Rats. I feel awful because I won't get to see him at all this year, Keswick is too far away. Now-what I could do is go to a Massey Hall concert. I'll have to check his tour schedule. Anybody else going to Massey Hall?

formerlylavender 02-28-2007 07:48 AM

Elizabeth, that is disappointing. I was hoping that the show would be added eventually. Wolftrap is such a nice venue with a beautiful setting, and the drive wasn't too bad from Delaware.

I hope you are able to attend a Massey Hall concert. At least you'd have a show to look forward to this year. Jbt and I are attending the Keswick show on 4/27, but that's it for us. Maybe something else will be added - one that we can all attend. Good luck!

Lightfoot's next Massey date will probably be in May 2008. He has them 18 months apart..

ELizabeth 02-28-2007 08:13 AM

Thanks Char. It seems that I am not destined to hear and see Gord this year. :(

ELizabeth 02-28-2007 08:15 AM

Sorry about the screw up of your name FormerlyLavender!
