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

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

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

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!!

I like that animated graphic that's all
