GitchiGumee:

Thanks for the offer but I'm going to be OK that day now. My wife just told me that we won't need to leave for the wedding we are attending until about noon that day.

Wedding is in Duluth late that afternoon. Outdoors near Lake Superior. Duluth in August one can either sweat to death or freeze. Nothing much in between.

Never will forget when Gord was in Superior, WI in August 1995. Clear but cool day at the outdoor concert field right by the lake, a stones-throw from the Burlington Northern loading dock from where the Fitzgerald last loaded.

It was cool by the lake that evening and out comes Gord in a short-sleeve Hawaiian shirt. Some lady in the front-row next to us yelled out, "Put some clothes on." Gord looked at us and said, "I'm allright, really.... I am."

He proceeded to deliver a great concert. Will never forget that he sang the Fitzgerald as the sun had just set and twilight was creeping in. One of my favorite Lightfoot concert memories.
