I recently checked out Gord's past tv appearances on another site. Has anybody seen any of these? The majority have been in Canada and the U.S.A, obviously.{You lucky people}.Living in the U.K one in particular caught my attention a 35 minute concert aired in January 1972.On the BBC.The song set was amazing.IYCRMM,SSOL,etc.I was a teenager in the early 70's when I first heard of Gord.I watched most music programmes but for the life of me I can't remember that one.I might be crazy but I'm thinking of writing to the BBC.A persuasive letter, maybe!The thought of seeing Gord on stage on stage with Rick and Red in their prime, singing those songs is too much.My wife thinks the idea's mad, only because she knows she's going to have to type the letter!I suppose in the end I'll be picking up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream.I wonder how the C.E of the BBC is tonight.
