Gord H, you were at that famous Hamilton concert? There must be something you can share here. The staff that treated him were there, must have been really good. The signing must have been a little weak tho?...Jesse.

Hi there I was sitting on the couch at home listening to the new Supertramp CD that just came out oblivious to what was going on that day until I turned the news on that night. Like many here I cannot imagine this world without GL in it!
My own father suffered a similar fate 6 months afte GL got sick, my dad almost died from an AAA and he was treated by Hamilton Health Sciences as well. Knowing that all of the proceeds that night were going to HHS I definetly wanted to go for two reasons, saving both GL's life and that of my dad.
When GL and the band walked on stage that night he was greeted by a thunderous roar and applause to which he said " Sorry I'm a little late" The first couple of songs were a bit rusty however he and the band quickly got into the swing of things. The concert was interspersed with his comments about McMaster Hospital, the staff, doctors and nurses plus his tale of recording Harmony from a hospital bed! LOL
He also pointed out his surgeon who was in the front row Dr M as I call him, Dr M stood up and he was greeted with a thunderous applause as well.
It was really great meeting BillW, Charlene, Jenney, Minstrel Man, John Fowles and the others at the restaurant before the concert.
