I have a special place in my heart for Liona and her music. When I saw Gord in concert for the first time, in 1978, Liona was the opening act. I was mesmerized by her guitar work. I already played guitar by then, but wasn't very good. I watched Liona, thinking, "holy moly, I could never do THAT!" (and I still can't!) She was incredible.
There were two shows that night, and I had bought tickets for both of them. Between shows, I got to meet Gord for the first time. I'll never forget that. And I got to meet Liona, too. A great night.
I would love to see Liona again. I'll have to check her site and see if she ever gets down to Texas.
