The most amazing feature this past week of both the Newsgroup and the corfid forum has been the complete absence on both boards of any comment,exclamations of delight etc regarding the fact that last Saturday Wayne's 2006 tour details page at:-
http://www.lightfoot.ca/2006.htm
suddenly had an extra 17 dates added for July through September.
Harold (Christie) recently said on the Newsgroup "Got it from a reliable source that Gord and company want to do about 45 shows this year"
Wayne currently shows some 39 shows lined up which adding in the anticipated 4 at Massey some time in November means the shed-yule is pretty well full now.
One of the new dates pleased us immensely the August 16 concert at the State Theater in New Brunswick NJ only a short drive down the Parkway for us.I have lost count of the number of times as we neared this venue, which is on the way to my cardiologist, that Susan would say I wish Gord would play there. Possibly nobody wanted to jinx any particular concert after the crushing blow sufferred the week before by the Texas contingent when the anounced Austin date was presumably cancelled (could be due to the prospect of playing an outdoors venue in the heat of a Texan June and being near to the longest day to boot was not so appealing and caused second thoughts?)
Otherwise the Newsgroup posters continued to bring up a smattering of interesting topics such as
IMPEACHAPALOOZA needs your help
and

I relayed to the Newsgroupers that here on corfid Ed Mullen got a mention by Bill Hall at:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...=003643#000000
which reminded me to add a note there about the fact that Bill on a whim started a second chat session on Saturday evenings which is being well attended
the original Friday session is tonight at 9PM EST
