Thanks JJ for the kind words!
Lou Moore's Thursday night gig is still happening up in Aurora at the King Henry Arms. Terry loved these jams as well as the dozens of other players who would frequent the pilgrimage. Lou Moore is the best of the best and he usually puts a smile on everyone's face.
Terry decided for my song 'It Makes Me Cry' to call in Red for the guitar parts and Lou for bass. That was a day I'll never forget. After showing the boys the initial idea, Red thought it best for me to lay down a ghost track for him to play against. As I was doing that, the boys went outdoors to light up their cigars. It was only 9:30 in the morning! Red was surprised that I was out to join them so quickly and that's when the jokes started. That continued throughout the session. We laughed, we cried and the music sounded incredible. We were all in our glory. Red was doing what he did best. Terry was Mr. Producer. Lou was our rock, and me, well I think I was in heaven singing with the stars. The very next evening, Terry and I were off to Massey Hall to see Don Williams. We sat in our favourite section up in the first balcony middle-middle. After the show, who do we run into backstage, none other than Red himself. He commented on the good time he had the day before. I'll never forget his laugh.
Every song has a story and this is one of my favourites!
