Gord Lightfoot died about a week ago on May 1st. I have been thinking about what I wanted to say about him daily. I am not a frequent concert goer, but I did see him live, many years ago. He was pervasively somewhere in the background of my life -- like Queen Elizabeth II. The tributes are still being posted. Researching him is easy now. Just put his name in a search in YouTube or Wikipedia, so I will only post a single sample link. Wikipedia lists his last album as "Solo" in 2020.
Regarding his death, Wikipedia posts: "In mid-April 2023, Lightfoot's declining health caused him to cancel the remainder of his 2023 tour.[77] Lightfoot died of natural causes at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto on May 1, 2023, at the age of 84.[78]" Read that again: At 84, he was still touring. That's ridiculous! I expect that seeing him in concert last year would have been worth it.
