I
don't know
if there are many geography buffs out there, but I've always been one
myself.
I read that back in the 70's Lightfoot kept a huge map on his wall and
kept
pins in it to mark everywhere he's played. I wonder if he still keeps
that
map up to date? So I'm guessing that Lightfoot is into geography
himself.
