a wonderful afternoon but too brief, only a handful of folks turned into hundreds who had flocked from other venues (there are 4 or 5 stages) to the grass in front of the stage once those familiar melodies filled the air
a good buzz in the air, bob & friend(s) rambled off a few tales and performed Early morning rain, For lovin' me, Trilogy, Home from the forest (outstanding version, he said he was inspired by Ronnie Hawkin's version), Rainy day people, Don quixote, Song for winter's night, Alberta bound...
he got heckled from a fan for not doing the Wreck, who would have thought they needed a bouncer at a family day event, lol!
an afternoon surrounded by total strangers but all Gord fans singing together, priceless...actually, the whole festival was free, that fits my budget these days
may i email someone who'll post (sucessfully, unlike my efforts) a pic?
ps) i dunno if my wee 3 month old will love me or hate me when he's older but when his teen (hip hop?) friends ask him one day 'what was your first concert?' he'll have to honestly reply 'Bob Burchill', lol
