re: Article about Illness..- I remember speaking with Barry before the show in Orillia at a side door where he was having a butt with some venue staff a couple of hours before showtime. He told me that Gord wasn't feeling well and had driven himself up to Orillia from home and was in a lot of stomach pain when he got out of the car in the Opera House parking lot. Barry thought it might be food poisoning because he wasn't feeling great himself..they had taken him over to the Orillia Soldier's Memorial Hopsital to be checked over..
We went down the street for dinner and came back about 45 minutes before showtime..Shortly after that a staff member of the Opera House came out and announced the show had been postponed due to illness..We milled around for quite a long time with a few other fans..sort of in shock and worry..forms were handed out in case we wanted to submit them for ticket refunds..when it got dark we headed back home to Whitby...oblivious to what was really happening..
