Have been listening to his songs for as long as I can remember....but, sadly, never did get to see him live.

Twolanerider:
Just this past weekend looked online to see if he was playing any dates again this year.  Saw that all existing dates for this summer were cancelled for health reasons.  I've seen him play live before but not since before Covid. 

dayne66:
I, too, have been looking at his schedule for the last few months trying to get to a concert somewhere while on this winter's vacation...knowing that he probably only had this last tour left.

There's a fairly recent documentary about him.......gonna watch it again.
 

Cvostu:
I got to see him in ft pierce FL several years ago. I've loved his music since the early 70s. Great song writer too. Thanks for mentioning him here Dayne. ☹️

Was sorry to hear of his passing. I used to go to all his concerts at Massey Hall back in the '70s. He was a true Canadian Icon. I've also met him on a couple of occasions in the Toronto path, super friendly and down to earth.
