Either the sound is excellent at the Calvin Theater or Gordon's voice is getting stronger and clearer. He also appears to be in very good spirits, seeming surprised at the continuous enthusiastic responses of the audiences. One new development in the concert format is that Gordon is now introducing each band member individually in connection with specific songs that feature them. Both in Cambridge and Northampton, he introduced Mike before Shadows, saying that he is required to play that song in a key with several sharps and that he can play any song in any key with no problem. He introduced Barry after Sundown, saying that he can play the drums in hundreds of different tempos. He introduced Rick after Baby Step Back although I think that Rick is brilliant on The Watchman's Gone and Hangdog Hotel Room. He also said that Rick is the straw boss and the "navigator", meaning that he directs the group in the rented Town Cars from the airports to the venues. There are loads of opportunities to recognize Terry for his particular talents and often the audience does it spontaneously themselves, but Gordon mentioned him by name both evenings that I attended. One other interesting point. Gordon has mentioned on several occasions that he is following and enjoying the US election this year, that he finds it fascinating and exciting. Last night he suggested that it doesn't actually matter who wins, that we will all go on living our lives because that is all we can really do. Pretty philosophical, and realistic. Those are the highlights from the weekend. And the boys are off to Buffalo tomorrow.
