I'd like to pass on this anecdote about TC. At a concert at which we were going to meet Gl afterwards, my sister and I each took something for an autograph. I took the book from songbook and my sister in a rush to get out of the house took disc 2 from songbook. Anyway at the reception, we each got our autographs from GL (which was really great, needless to say) and then as he was mobbed by the crowd we found the band and spent time meeting and talking to them. TC was very nice (as each of them were) and signed my book on that middle picture where the band is standing to the left and right of GL. He put is signature right up his arm. Then my sister handed him the jewel case for disc 2, open to the front inside which has a representation of the 45 If You Could Read My Mind. TC took it and very carefully appeared to sign his autograph and handed it back to my sister. She looked at it and then with a real strange look on her face looked at me and then TC. TC was looking at us with a big smile on his face. She handed it to me and said - look what he wrote. He had written in very small, neat printing: Red Shea. I started to laugh, and he just smiled even more and said but I didn't play on that album. We laughed again and all agreed that he could sign since he plays the song all the time. After he signed his autograph, he apologized for messing up the photo. We told him not to worry as it was now very special to us.
And you're right Gord, he does have a terrific speaking voice and a great smile.
