Keep Smiling

OK Ron nice to see you posting . Where have you been??
I don't think that Gord ever played in 'Nam, but it reminds me to pass on an anecdote from Massey 2009
I remembered when thanking him on the Friday after the concert for playing my two favourite live songs
"Restless" and "Let It Ride" to ask if when he sang "Here’s to the girls of London And the ones from Montreal"
to ask if the London he had in mind was London UK or London Ontario,
He replied defensively and pensively*
"Well I had girlfriends in London you know"
then continued that he used Rangoon as it suited the rhyming
I guess Burma is getting close to Vietnam
as is Shanghai of course
*Pensively , definitely because on Saturday he came up to me and said
"56 Gloucester Road Fourth floor walkup that's where I lived in London"
I have made a screenshot from Google Maps Streetview of that address and have attached it below
