Mr. Lightfoot,

First, thank you for the music. I grew up in the 70s and it seems like your music was always around me. I sort of re-discovered you in my late 30s after a painful divorce and I was looking for music that I felt had meaning. I started playing your music for my son and he loves it. He is especially infatuated with "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." He is eight and you will be his first concert next month in L.A. We're both looking forward to it immensely.

My question is a simple one, but one that has eaten at me since I was a kid: What exactly would you do to me if you found me creepin' round your back stairs?

Hello Mr. Glover! I've been a big fan of your work for decades and really appreciate your views on working in the big Hollywood meat grinder and then using the filthy lucre to fund your artistic vision. I have so many questions, but I will limit myself to two:

1) I have given up that there will ever be a followup to your record, but I still hold out hope that there are more books in the future. It has been a while since "What It Is and How It Is Done." Is my hope misplaced?

2) What is the weirdest gift a fan has given you? I promise I am not going to try to top it.

Thank you for doing this AMA and I look forward to seeing your show in Encinitas in a couple of weeks.

That's a very Canadian answer. Thank you.

I love this one as well. I find it oddly moving.
