that's terrific that they replaced that other keyboard
many tribute acts and on this side of the border dating back to that late 60s
and one of them real early ones is a card carrying member here
i never saw a full tribute band until the mid 70s, cool name, Carefree Highway or was it Hi'way Songs
I think an appealing thing about the Hugh's Room and the 'news group' shows is that they have a variety of singers doing their favourites...and furthermore, that Cathy, Derek and co tribute was the first I'd heard of that was south of the border which seemed overdue.... someone should do in in the UK because it's the only way to get a small flavour of Gord over there!
Matt recorded some lovely takes for the lightfoot site Tribute CDs back in the 90s...I think Ed is also on there (he has an early collection of Gord songs on a tape collection that I frequently enjoy!)
btw, for those who don't know, Cathy has a wonderful tribute CD collaboration with Bob Doidge... I can't find the thread but I made a list of all the songs dedicated to Gord as well as the tribute CDs out there...the first I heard was George Hamilton IV..I'm looking at the LP right now, lol
it will be nice if Mike Fornes can pick the guitar (for the whack of songs that Gord picks on) as the band develops... someone commented that his voice would also suit a wonderful Roger Whittaker tribute (is there such an outfit?)
hey char, it looks like Kenyon might be joining in on the next tribute, fun
