Now Christopher... I said POSSIBLY..
and I will admit there have been songs over the last few years that have caused him difficulties. Starting with Cotton Jenney seemed hard for him but last night it was further down the set list and he had a rip roaring good time with it as did the audience. He was breathy and raspy at times last night and during CRT (which I've noticed before) he had a real hard time. However that could be due to the fact he did The Wreck last night too. He usually doesn't do them on the same night let alone the same half but has been doing so lately with The Trilogy coming after the Wreck and several other songs. Last night was number 13 of 15 nights over 18 days I think..From Newfoundland to southwestern Ontario-5 provinces in total.
I'll have more later..there were some lovely surprises.
