I heard "Now and Then" for the first time in 33 years tonight!
Claudia and RJ : We'll see you in the big tent on Fri Aug 2nd.
Will post complete set list on Monday. Debbie and I are off to Appleton for Sunday night.

It was fun to bump into you guys Saturday, I hadn't checked Corfid before we took off, so that was a real surprise when RJ said 'Hey, there is John from Forest Lake'...
We had a really great evening and the venue was much nicer than it originally appeared from online pictures we saw. The accoustics was great too and Gord sounded really good. Maybe not quite as strong as in Minneapolis but still really good.
I had a younger couple next to me who saw him for the first time. They really enjoyed every minute of it and had a great evening. I'm always really happy when I meet people who never saw him before and leave happy as can be.
The absolute opposite was sitting next to RJ - a couple who couldn't be bothered to give applause a single time and they left halfway through the 2nd set. Their loss - I feel nothing but pity for them.
To open the 2nd set with 'Now And Then' was a real treat. I never heard it in concert before.
After the show I told the guys how everybody loves it when they pull songs 'out of cold storage' - to make sure they know there ARE people out there who really like to hear lesser known tunes as well.
I'm looking forward to see the show on August 2nd at the Big Top, never been to that venue and I'm sure it'll be terrific.
