Hi Brian,

Great seeing you again at the Massey gigs and pub jam.

Yes, both really beautiful scenic parts of good ol' "TO."

It was "The Bridal Path" area of Toronto where Mike was delivering mail where he and Gord both met.

I'm not too familiar with "The Bridal Path" area of Toronto but I know it's pretty well spread out and it would be much easier there to walk out your door and sort of just "take off" for a jog as opposed to the "Rosedale" area where the homes are much closer together.

But ya know; I think Gord belongs back in that Rosedale house. What a beautiful setting it was down there in the Rosedale Valley. All the walking, jogging space one would ever need on the endless trails down there.

It was his place.

The house had the turret, the old Orillia Opera House hometown style and all the beautiful surroundings that seemed to work so well with all the great songs he was writing there in those wonderful days.

Sometimes I go there and ride my bike around. Just absorb all the great vibes and relive the magic that I can still seem to connect with from that golden era.

Time now for "Song For A Winter's Night" to bring an end to this cold February evening in Toronto.

Sorry to go off topic a tad. Guess it's "That Same Old Obsession" still kicking in there.
