Please ask us any questions you like, we will all answer, then argue about who is correct... lol.

I believe that Cathy Smith was one of Gords backup singers for some time. Some people say that she is pictured behind Gord on the cover of "Cold on the Shoulder", others say that the person pictured is actually Jan Stephenson ( not the golfer ), maybe someone out there can shed some light on this.

I believe Cathy Smith sang harmony on "High And Dry" (from the "Sundown" album). Other than that, I don't know that she was active with his career.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Right you are! That's her. I'll swear she's somewhere else doing backup but High and Dry I know. One of the sleepers of the Sundown album - there are actually a lot of those...

i wouldn't classify high and dry as a sleeper. for some reason it was one of the first songs that i really got into on that album (i prefer it over the title track or carefree highway). Too late for prayin' tends to be more of a sleeper for me, but that's just my opinion!

High and Dry is really neat. It's an anthem for any guy that had a girlfriend stolen away by somebody who turned out to be a bum, and is real easy to sing at the top of your lungs (even sober).

Keep Smiling.. Ron.

i was searching for something unrelated but came across this post...a few months ago a family member mentioned she was doing some hairdressing for Bev Lightfoot's BFF and she mentioned how young Gord used to hang about and try annoy them the way little brothers do

a few weeks later she was doing hair for the widow of the late Bill Skinner (i guess it's still a small town after all)...I'll ask if there's an upcoming appointment and have her casually ask more about the stream....not sure, but i believe they show a clip of it as well as old Bill in the old Telescope documentary...you can certainly see that old mill

this is of course hear say, only her hairdresser knows for sure

I have pics (I lost ALL of my 'stuff' on my computer-10 years worth) so will scan what I took of a stream and mill back in 2000 when I went to Mariposa..

I salvaged a few pics and some folks have sent me stuff via e-mail and on discs..sadly it won't come close to getting my inventory up to what it was..
