I had a wonderful evening last night with my mother-in-law and Gordon Lightfoot. We saw him in Rockford, IL and the show was terrific! Such a blessing to see him and spend time with my mama #2...both she and Gordon are 80 years old.
Sure, Gordon does not sound like he once did...his voice is not as clear and he seems to tire a bit but, he is still incredible. Truly an icon.
But, one of the major highlights of last evening was the father and his children who sat next to me. Dad is likely my age...somewhere in his early to mid-fifties and his son and daughter are probably 14 to 16 years old.
Needless to say, the son and daughter knew the words to every single song...they sang out loud, clapped, kept time and thoroughly enjoyed the show. So, to those kid's dad....you did well, Dad! Gordon's music will live on for another generation!
