I bought Bo tickets to see Gordon Lightfoot for Valentine's Day. He mentioned wanting to see him. I had no idea who Gordon Lightfoot was at the time, but thought it would be fun to go anyway. Here's a YouTube video of him performing one of his most famous songs, If You Could Read My Mind. I hope the video works. I've not posted videos here previously.
I recognized 5 or 6 of his songs during the concert. I heard a few people say that his voice was weak. He's 69 years old; I guess after a lifetime of performing you have a right to have a weak voice periodically. It was a nice show and I'm glad we were able to see him perform. I think this is the first concert we've been to since Callen was born.
He performed at the Alabama Theater last night. Here's a link to pictures of the inside of the theater (http://www.alabamatheatre.com/Default.aspx?tabid=68); it is a beautiful old theater. I heard someone sitting behind us compare it to the Fox Theater in Atlanta. The sound in it is just beautiful!

Gordon Lightfoot is actually pretty good. Several of his songs would play on our satellite radio at work and my manager told me who he was. I believe he is the person who sang the opening song for Growing Pains. He has a very distinctive voice. I bet he puts on a good show.
