There is one woman in Chicago who always requests, “Pony Man.” One man wanted “Cotton Jenny.” I ran up the stairs to get the 12-string guitar … I burst an artery [in 2002]. It took me 28 months to get better. All for this one guy. He was driving me nuts. He wouldn’t stop asking for “Cotton Jenny.”

This is a very interesting quote. I don't know if this is all one answer or they cobbled some quotes together. Did the guy requesting Cotton Jenny cause Gord to run up the stairs, burst an artery and be disabled and nearly killed? I seem to recall the medical emergency happened before a show in Orillia so is this HOW it actually happened? Does anyone know?
