Davenport Concert 4-30-2013

Had quite a day and night. Early in the morning one of Erin’s friends who works in sales at the concert sponsoring radio station, left a voice message on Erin’s cell phone to return the call for an emergency. Erin returned the call and her friend said to find us after the show and come with us as part of the radio station’s meet and greet. She didn’t know that we already had backstage passes. When we met her that night, she said the radio station had a venue poster for us.

We got there early, waiting around and talked to some people. Rick Haynes came out and remembered us, said where did we get the t-shirts. We got that comment throughout the night . Everybody liked them . We asked him to pose for a group picture with us, which he did. Rick mentioned that if we wanted any of the pictures we took that we could send to Gord’s office to be autographed . He’s been with Gordon for 45 years. He’s still into Hot Rods and old cars.

Gordon was dressed in a black shirt, vest and black pants, then after intermission he changed into his Maroon Velvet Jacket.

After the concert in the meet and greet, I wound up taking some more pictures, including some that are going to be on the Radio Station ( 93.9 WYEC) website.
Got to meet and talk to Gordon for a few minutes. He remembered meeting us before and when he signed the I Wish you Good Spaces Book, I told him that is such a great sentiment. Gord’s response was they don’t do the song I’m not suppose to care in concert because of the different tuning.

We had a wonderful time and it was a great evening.
