My Lightfoot Story

15. Sounds like heaven. :)

And I hope that Don - and you, and all musicians with similar dreams - will get to share stages with your heroes there.

I couldn't blame Don for wanting to sing along with Gordon. And I was used to his singing along with records we were listening to. But no one else was singing along at the concert - at least not loudly enough that I could hear them - and Don was singing loudly enough that I could hear him more than Gordon at times. I was guessing the same was true for others nearby. It was still much better than someone singing loudly and badly, but people weren't there to hear him. We got some less-than-friendly looks.

Usually, unless artists clearly indicate they want the audience to sing along, I want audiences to be quiet during songs, then make lots of noise to show their appreciation after each song - well, and maybe at the very start of a favorite song. I know people disagree on that. Saw a long thread on Steve Hoffman's music forum, with some people saying that if they paid for a ticket, they had every right to sing as loud as they wanted, and people who wanted to hear the artist clearly should just listen to the records instead. Others there disagreed strongly.

But I can understand professional singers especially being tempted to sing along.

Btw, are those your lyrics? I like them, and I couldn't find them by googling.
