As many of you know, folk singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot
is coming to The Victory Theatre on September 30th. I had a chance
to sit down for a phone interview with Mr. Lightfoot recently and the
conversation turned to a range of topics – his music, his near fatal abdominal
aneurysm, the recent death of his manager of 25 years, and the music business
in general.
As a News-4U first, we are
presenting an MP3 of that interview, complete with phone noise and my
stammering line of questions. There were a couple spots where a technical
glitch caused the conversation to be inaudible both on the tape and between the
two of us, which will explain some of the weird conversational transitions, but
these interruptions were brief and Mr. Lightfoot remained very lucid and
cordial throughout, even if I did not. ;)
Hope you
enjoy the interview and the show on the 30th. To obtain tickets,
