I was a folk music fan in the 60's. I lived in Buffalo, NY. and in 1969, my then boyfriend and I were scheduled to go to the Mariposa Folk Festival in Ontario to hear, among others, Gordon Lightfoot. My boyfriend had to work that weekend and we couldn't go. I was so disappointed that he said, "Well, there's this other music festival not too far from us in August, let's go to that one." That's how I ended up at Woodstock.

I missed a Gordon Lightfoot concert five years ago this month because I had such bad morning sickness. My husband was like "you'd be the youngest person their by thirty years!". I'll never get the chance to see him in concert now. But I did get to take my son to see Don McClean last summer though :) He's stuck gong to concerts with me forever now as payback!
