Sometimes the word "ironic" is just too.... "ironic?"

Being the sort of "lest we forget" kind of guy that I am, and at this late stage in life, it's sometimes difficult to keep on top of all that's happened over the years and that which is still happening.

There's got to be something, and maybe it's in the stars, I'm not sure, but I was just about to post a reminder on Corfid that it was on this day two years ago that Gord's manager Barry Harvey passed away as well.

The music of the Clancy Brothers was a big influence in my life and the name "Liam" was chosen for my first born son because to that influence as well.

The Clancys and Tommy Makem were big Lightfoot fans and recorded a beautiful version of "Early morning Rain."

So a moment of silence for Liam and Barry.

Peace be unto you both.
