JJ - A while back, perhaps as long ago as the original 'Yahoo' newsgroup we would try to make a "Massey" T-shirt for that particular year's concert.
(sadly this project only lasted a few years). Ideas for a theme would be submitted and voted upon and a Lightfoot shirt would be made for that particular year. I believe these wonderful creations were coordinated and manufactured by Lighthead
Kimberly P. All of my 'Massey' shirts have been cleaned and tucked away in my vault. I have a collection of the shirt designs as well
(you should see some of the fantastic rejects!!). But as I have them archived somewhere in the bowels of my upstairs office and because of my condition, I'm stuck on the lower floor and can't retrieve them at this time. I did find one of the designs (see 2002 below). Not only did these shirts raise envious eyebrows at the concerts, they served another purpose. If you ran into someone wearing "the shirt" on Yonge Street or elsewhere, you knew right away they were a 'Lighthead' from the newsgroup. Even having met that person for the very first time, you knew you were
