He just played recently in the area...would have loved to have seen him.

One night long ago at Fort Adams, Gordon Lightfoot played. This is back when I did drugs and I was f'ed up on pot and other hallucinogenic substances. So Gordon does a bunch of songs and then starts to break into The Edmund Fitzgerald. As he starts, the stage is bathed in red light and the fog starts rolling over the wall at Ft Adams. Everyone was just blown away.

The next day the ProJo music writer Tony Lioce wrote that it was one of the most magical moments in music.

There were a bunch of people with me, including my wife who never did a drug in her life, and they all verified it.
