He is, after all, still Gordon Lightfoot and is a brilliant performer. Moreover, you owe it to yourselves and to Lightfoot to pay tribute to this one of a kind artist not only for a single concert performance you may choose to attend, but also for a fantastic and unforgettable career which has brought countless hours of listening pleasure to so many of us.

My advice is to forsake further delays and go for it! Lightfoot, just like the rest of us, is not getting any younger. Pick a concert and get tickets early! You will not regret it.

Well said, Texas Tom! Gord, like all of us, is a "work in progress", as I see him.
