Having the Massey shows on the American Thanksgiving weekend may not be ideal, but it isn't an insurmountable problem.
For me, the bigger problem is how nasty the weather can be in this part of the world in late November. I have made two Massey trips in November, and each time the weather was surprisingly good. But those trips were 2 or 3 weeks earlier in the month, which can make a huge difference.
I was looking forward to making the pilgrimage in April 2014. Our trip there in May 2011 was so much fun. The weather was great, and we got to take in a Jays game along with two Lightfoot shows.
It had always been a dream of mine to see Gordon in his home country, at his "home" concert hall. I have now had that privilege four times, and have gotten to see friends and meet new ones in the process. So I'm not going to wallow in self-pity...at least not yet
Thanksgiving or not, I'm sure the seats will be filled and the shows will be wonderful, as always.
