Somewhere on this discussion board, I saw reference to a possibility of Gordon being on the Today Show for the 30th anniversary of the Wreck of the E. F. I saw Gordon after the show in Portland on Friday, and he & his manager confirm they would be receptive to doing that "if we were invited". Well, maybe if we all send e-mails to the program via their site, we could make it happen. Here's a link to the website.

No major news out of the Portland show. Standard set list, and I was happy to hear Watchman's Gone live for the first time. Voice was weak and cracked a few times...but got stronger as he went along. He was real nice and stopped for the 15-20 people waiting outside near his tourbus for an autograph. I clipped together 4 CD covers and he just signed his last name only. The writing looks real shaky and doesn't even compare to the clear crisp signatures I got about 5 years ago at a show in NH. He and his band are real nice folks, but personally, I think his illness has really taken a toll on him. I hope he gets stronger over time, and does not push himself too much.
