LOL just between you and I - miguel is one of my least favs. But don't say anything. BTW I played your CD when we were at Beaver Creek for the Colorado concerts. Very warm reception to it. My favorite is still the one that drew me to your site....Memories Run Deep.

Anyone have any ideas on when we might get to see a 2008 concert schedule? I can't remember how early the following year's calendar usually gets published. I hope it's soon because I need to plan my year!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hello to Melissa...
Are you still enjoying your (formerly my) D18-GL? I sure do hope so!

I attended the Sheboygan show last night, so you can add that one to the list!

Ron,

Minneapolis will be covered. There will be many of us there. For sure amongst all of us we will come up with the the sets, and many comments. After Gord was here last year, when he had the stroke, so many fans had a running commentary going on it. Whether he is in good voice or has problems, that's not the point. The point if that he is just a master at his craft, and he is our friend. With that thought in mind, we can remember last year and how he bonded with the audience. It was as if we were one at times. He is one of us, he is human, and such a gracious one at that. If he can't hit all the notes
the band can help. If you remember last year, they never took their eyes off of him when he was having problems. They can compensate for almost anything. He and his band are like a unit, and it will work. However it goes we will have experienced greatness in it's highest form. God bless you Gord.....you'll never know all of the people that you have touched and helped just by being you. Pushing on through adversity is a new lesson that you have taught us. You have given your all.

Moosedog tracked down Sheboygan....51 concerts / 45 attended

Minnesota gigs look like a slam dunk....

I'm off to Rochester!!!

>>>>>>>> FINAL TALLY <<<<<<<<<

Conceding that Duluth will be covered :

54 concerts / 48 attended (89%)

I believe special mention should be extended to DSR, et.al, for their contributions via Gordquest '07. She also was the originator of the idea for this thread.

It started in January, and ended with a flurry of dazzling reviews.

I think it's safe to say that Corfidians not only 'talk the talk'.......we 'walk the walk'.

Salute !

I cannot wait to hear how Duluth went tonight! Even more than that, I cannot wait to hear what the schedule will be like in 2008!!!

Ron,
can you list all cities and number of attendees? or at least note that at least one of us was in attendance??
(no rush)
It would be good to have "The List" in one post.
If I CHat with Gord again I will mention the numbers to him.
Great job folks!!! - and thanks Ron for keeping track!
