Re: Lightfoot "CELEBRATION" shows this coming weekend..
I have to wait for Char to post to help my memory along with who sang what! I just got home a short time ago, after a blessedly uneventfull ride home. I watched the sun rise over a frozen Lake Ontario, and watched it set from my kitchen window. A bit of snow, but mostly sunlight over sparkling snow. I even got to see a horse drawn sleigh dancing over a field for awhile beside the highway!
The show was wonderful, well worth the trip. I got to hear a few old favorites, and was exposed to some talent I was unaware of, but will follow now. The thing I like best about the tribute shows, besides hearing new people, is to hear the songs I love done with a different treatment. Sometimes I feel like I become slightly immune to the lyrics, after hearing them for so many years the same way. That's part of the beauty of going to GL concerts, and of hearing these shows. I hear the lyrics differently with a different personality behind it. I'm anxious for everyone to hear Rick Fines do Boss Man, as it is so different, yet so wonderful. I remember listening harder than I have for years to Summer Side of Life (brain death over who sang it though!), and thinking about the words even more.
There's much more I could say, but will have to wait till I get some more rest, and till Char reminds me who sang what!
It was terrific to see Kenyon again too! Ron, I missed seeing you there sitting at the bar!
