Re: Tampa
 
OK I had meant to post some comments on our Florida journey and setlists before this but better late than never eh??
In fact I tried hard to save each of the 4 concert's setlists , initially using my one:bun... two:shoe... three:tree memory aiding method
but I soon realised that having to think up new associations every night was leading to some mighty confusion.
Fortunately others have provided Wayne Francis with setlists for the Orlando
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfo...es/orlando.jpg
and Fort Pierce concerts
However I can recall most of the memory clues I used at Gainesville and Tampa starting with not a round bun but a triangular one hence song 1=Triangle
so here is the setlist for:-
Gainesville 19 february 2008
  1. Triangle
  2. Cotton Jenny
  3. 14 Carat Gold
  4. Never Too Close
  5. In My Fashion
  6. A Painter Pasing Through
  7. Rainy Day People
  8. Shadows
  9. Beautiful
  10. Carefree Highway
  11. Hangdog Hotel Room
  12. /13 medley Ribbon Of Darkness/Sundown
  13. The Watchman's Gone
    intermission
  14. If Children Had Wings
  15. The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
  16. Alberta Bound
  17. Don Quixote
  18. ???? I am still working in this one!!!!!
  19. Clouds Of Loneliness
  20. Waiting For You
  21. Minstrel Of The Dawn
  22. If You Could Read My Mind
  23. Baby Step Back
  24. My Little Love
  25. Canadian Railroad Trilogy
  26. Old Dan's Records
And Tampa 21 February 2008 was more or less:-

  10. Beautiful
  11. Carefree Highway

  24. My Little Love
  25. Canadian Railroad Trilogy
  26. Song For A Winter's Night
  27. Old Dan's Records
OK we had a grand tour of the Sunshine State. it was hard to realise as we walked on beaches at over 80 F that it would still be around the freezing point not so very far north!
our constant companions were the Australian John Williamson and a lady in a box (a GPS Navigator) who soon was nicknamed "Bitch" because of her constant uttering of "u-turn" whenever we decided to take the scenic routes!! Actually she only made a pair of glaring errors:-
Approaching the Tampa Theatre area from Orlando on I4 I could plainly see (on an old fashioned thing called
a "map") that the quickest way was surely to take exit 44 on I275, but no we sailed by until we heard the inevitable "u-turn" at exit 42!
To be fair there was some construcion work in the area that maybe she knew about
To her credit though she directed us to "you have reached your destination" right by an on street parking space within visual range of the wonderful old theatre
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfo...pa_theatre.jpg
And her second error
She directed us into what was most likely the correct street name for the rental car return. Great but it was a cul-de-sac!!

Hello Sir John,

The sky graphic is truly wonderful. We also had a lady in a box with us and had about the same results. You have a good sense of humor. Thank you for the laugh. We enjoyed meeting you and your family. :)

I have been thinking a lot as we prepare for another year's touring (to hopefully culminate inToronto again in November)
about our exciting mini-tour of Florida almost exactly one year ago to catch four of the five FL concerts, and meet in Tampa one of my oldest UK friends Alan Thacker who I met in my Foster's School,Sherborne Boarding House back in 1953 and who now owns a condo in Bradenton just to the South of Tampa, and who I made a GL fan many years ago
I was most pleased to get him the chance to meet Gord after the show

This morning I just hapenned to do one of my regular GL image searches and found this great photo now on the http://www.orlandofloridaguide.com website

Wow! That's a great photo Sir John :)
It sounds like it was a great time for all of you. I am hoping to see him again this year at his Indiana dates.
I am really looking forward to it. Love the energy at his concerts and being in the same 'space' with him for awhile.
