I found that very interesting, yuri
..your quote is sad and true for many
Well, I'll have to put this "under the covers" forum but it also seems to belong here
I remember tufts telling same anecdote at the first Hughs room tribute when Gord was still 'touch and go' with his recovery.
Who'd have thunk Gord and especially Bill Lee (born 1928!) would outlive Rea Whelan Shea Harvey Clements...I truly hope the list slows to a halt
I believe Bruce Langhorne is also alive...the opposite of 'nodding off' is 'nodding on' and that's what Bruce is doing on the porch (on the right
)
as for Rea vs. Langhorne style on the Lightfoot! album, Bruce picked with only two fingers (the only two he had) ... but I don't know if anyone can detect that aurally ...I understand there are some pretty versatile fellas who pick with just one finger ...i digress...how unusual
if David Rea was laid to rest (on this 'day of rest'), I trust it was very somber, yet hopefully many hours were devoted to celebrating his life amongst love ones
