OMG OMG... Gordon Lightfoot's road manager just called me here at work and said he's going to take care of getting Tracey backstage to meet Gordon Lightfoot and the band.. he is going to give me 3 backstage passes.. one for me and my brother too. He is so cool..... I am shaking right now.
The girls and I visited Tracey yesterday in Blackshear Georgia and had a great time together! She is in alot of pain but she is being very tough and trying not to show it. She is going to be so surprised..

Hey Donna!!..
I told Mr. Harvey the Road Manager.. Tracey doesn't know anything about this..
Then I told him where our seats are (5th row center) and he said he'll find us.. then he's going to bring the passes near the end of the concert and take us backstage.. I was crying and overwhelmed the whole time I was on the phone with him. He was so nice.

Was thinking about renting a limo for the concert and ordered Edmund Fitzgerald Beer from Ohio.....at this point money is no object, so there must be some Edmund Fitzgerald Beer in the limo..
Gordon Lightfoot Tickets: $150.00
Case of Edmund Fitzgerald Beer: $55.00
Limosine Rental: $275.00
Capturing the smile on Tracey's face when she get to meet Gordon Lightfoot: PRICELESS

People....people.....people!
Let me tell you all about a website I refer to on a regular basis:
http://www.imdb.com/
Gordon's page:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004492/?fr= ... fc=1;ft=20
I have this site bookmarked, I use it so much. Can't even count the times I've pulled up a new movie for fan reviews, before wasting our money on rentals. My family teases me but hey, it does save us time and money.
HG - that's a great story and very exciting. Update us after the concert....
