To save time I will be posting this as is on both the Newsgroup and corfid
Highlights of the past week
Both the Newsgroup and corfid have featured items on pre-concert gatherings for the very shortly occurring Southern California tour
For any corfid readers going to El Cajon who have not seen it Doug Kirk a.k.a. plumguru2 is offering a get together at his home (in Santee) before the concert on Friday April 22nd.

Doug said:-
"I'm hoping to host a small gathering of Lightfoot fans at my home that
evening, 4/22/05 beginning around 5 PM. If you'd like to attend please
contact me at plumbg...@cox.net for the address by 4/17. That should give us adequate time to get every thing in order at the homestead."
I am not sure what the ...2cox.net is all about as Doug is a long time AOLer at plumguru2.aol.com from where he seems to have sent the NG posting.
Meanwhile there has been quite a discussion on corfid about meeting for a meal before the next evening's concert at Cerritos.
this seems to have been settled as at Mimi's together with a pre concert gathering at as rex "the rez" put it:-
"Around the lobby they have tiles signed by the performers who have appeared there. I suggest we meet under the Victor Borga (sic) signature tile (no one else will.) It sounds harder to find a thing like that than it is. Before the show would be great - after too."

Another nice topic concerning the meaning of "The Minstrel of The Dawn"
has produced some very learned responses at:-

A member calling himself "stingray" who takes his name from a post-Fender bass guitar asked if Rick Haynes played one too and a response confirmed this see:-

By the way anybody who has not looked at corfid this last week will get a shock as Florian has considerably updated it to the later UBB version which now improves the topic listing and adds several features such as a searchable members list message leaving etc
