It's been really fantastic Jesse Joe and thanks for your post.

The concert tonight was right on par with the Wednesday concert. Another full house and fans just craving for as much as can be offered by Gord and his band and they fulfilled their duty.

The "Voice of Gord" was there right from the beginning.

Completely overwhelming for this very lightheaded Lighthead. (way past my bedtime now as well. Just finished my milk and cookies)

The pub jamming is on again for tomorrow Pam. Missed you this time. Your request is a good one (Crossroads) and we'll have to see what happens with it. I really love that tune but never got to learn it. Maybe some of the singing folks will surprise us though. Never know what happens with these kind of gigs. It will be put on the list though as a future one to have ready. Promise!

Tomorrow we'll be having John Stinson and Paul Bartlett join us. These two guys are students of Gord's former lead guitar player and composer, Red Shea, so we're in for a big treat here.

Also Melissa arrived in town tonight and will be with us as well with her sweet voice and unique guitar style. We're expecting a few others, maybe Myk, friend from Ottawa, (studio, bass player guy who recorded the tunes in 2005 at the Delta Chelsea Hotel Sessions) , TG, for "All the Lovely Ladies." We'll have "the Rez" who joined us today with his combination of Steve Earle, Gordon Lightfoot fused influenced style, and maybe, just maybe; if we can get a microphone out into the section where "all the lovely ladies" were sitting today, we'll get a song or two from them. Just leave the drivin' to the band! And JJ just might be there for " You'll Still Be Needing Me." My son, Liam also hopes to make it to share his "rearing" sounds.

Just a pot luck pub jam but a mere prelude to what will happen just a step or two way on the stage of Massey Hall tomorrow and Saturday night.

We're talkin' "Gordon Lightfoot Week" in Toronto folks, so let's grab onto it while it's there!!

So we'll sing it out again tomorrow.

My thanks to all who came out today for the tunes.

You're the greatest.

Cheers, RJ.
