Oddly though, he has become a friend. Lightfoot fans seem to have a little of my outlook on life. I don't have to tell others how his songs have accompanied me through all the ups and downs of life. He's a true poet. I did communicate briefly with a lady in Dorset who posted here, but I've not heard anything from her since. Martyn .

Intersting Martin.having lived from 1969 to 2000 in my home town of Sherborne Dorset, I have to say that the only ladies in Dorset that I knew were Lightheads were a handful that I had personally introduced to the wonder of his music and I do not recall any of them ever posting anything here. I am therefore intrigued to know who she was and also who were the 5 that Val told you about ( probably 2 were myself and Bruna "silverheels" Zanelli.)
Looking forwards to meeting you in Toronto. Be sure to book yourself into the Delta Chelsea Hotel, where many of the regulars will probably be staying and hopefully somebody (Janice? CHar??) will in due course before it is too late be organising a room for the traditional jam session. It is a very fine hotel and is in a super position a fairly short walk from Massey,

and some rooms look out over Yonge Street, plus next door is the very British style Elephant and Castle Pub usually serving draft UK real ale (London Pride) and Yorkshire Pudding
