hi Ron, it was terrific seeing you guys (you both looked sharp!) and Terry's best friend, Johann and other musicians like Scott's colleague, Al. Cosy venue, eh...

One fella at the Orillia festival said "I loved it all, I don't recall Gordon playing right in the streets of this town... you were immersed, passersby and all"

17 songs in 60 minutes ...quite a barrage...Mariposa market, patios bustling

the culture organizer folks said "we weren't quite expecting THAT! Who are you?"

i wasn't sure what to expect either, but getting the call mid summer, then making the trek and quickly setting up in 15 minutes, and suddenly playing Gord's hometown, well, ranks way up there in my musical journal...what fans

btw, as we try carry the Gord torch, I carried the Sam the Record Man one
