Very nice post KHester. Your sentiment reveals the same as many of us here.

Having gone back through the tour schedules on Wayne Francis' site I was unable to find a previous engagement in Montgomery Alabama for Gordon Lightfoot.

If this is the case then it's probably a justifiable reason why there wasn't enough interest generated to perform a concert there.

Also the demographics are changing everywhere and it seems very quickly as well and it's difficult to tell how wide the concert was advertised.

It's unfortunate though because Montgomery has no shortage of history as far as the arts community goes.

The Hank Williams Museum is a place I would love to visit some day.

But Gordon Lightfoot is not the kind of guy who would let something like this throw him off. He'll just soldier on like the true professional he is and enjoy his day off to catch up on any loose ends that maybe hanging about.

There'll be no shortage of fans lined up to watch him perform at future venues.

Just wait till the Massey Hall gigs happen this November in Toronto.

Stay loose,

Ron J.
