Almost Gord - but not

[Auburn Annie]

Well I just had the weirdest experience. My husband and I dropped our daughter off with friends for a weekend of camping at Cayuga Lake State Park and decided to try out The Deerhead Inn, about 200 yards down the road. Never been there before (great food BTW). We were seated in the room overlooking the lake, in the middle. To my right, 5 feet away, was a fellow who could have been Gord's brother, if he'd had one. Honest to goodness - same profile, swept back hair (same shade), mustache, goatee, same approximate build and he and the blond he was with (definitely not Elizabeth but around the same age) were talking with another couple about Vancouver. He may even have been Canadian (thought I caught "aboat" for "about" but it was a little noisy in the dining room.) Talk about distracting. Anybody else ever come across a Gord double?

The year was about 1982. In a local restaurant in Shediac, NB. This guy was getting up to go to the men's room. He would walk right in front of our table. He had curly hair, same type of a mustache as Gordie. I saw him 2 more times after that, the walk, the hair the mustache , the height. I was almost certain that it was him vacationing or something. The following morning I checked the local newspapers to see if I could read something like, Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot, spotted last night in a local restaurant. But nothing. I was quite young at the time. If this was to happen today, I would definitely ask, have you any relations with GL.

When I was interviewing for the job I have now, the warehouse guy came into the office...He looked exactly like Gord on the Harmony album. Very thin, same profile, same hair color - also swept back. The differences were Brian was taller - he really was 6' tall and he was balding at the crown of his head. I sat with my mouth open and totally forgot the interview until George touched my arm and I still kept looking back. Later I took a photo copy of the Harmony CD and faxed it over - even Brian was trying to figure out the picture I had of HIM!! I even posted this on here once, he just unnerved me everytime he came over to my office (I worked in a satelite office 60 miles away).

I guess we all have our doubles. I have at least one, possibly two.

Way back in the day when I was an undergrad, several of my classmates stopped by my breakfast table one Sunday morning to ask me why I didn't tell them I could sing. Sing? Me? It turns out they had gone to some little cafe in the Village (as in Greenwich Village) the night before and heard "me" singing. It took me a lot to convince them I was snug in my little bed when I was allegedly performing.

The other incident was freakier. My uncle, who's known me since birth, was a faculty member at the Univesity of Rochester for many years in the language department. One semester he started a class taking note of his new students and stopped dead when he saw "me" front and center. If he hadn't known for a fact I was 90 miles away in Auburn he would have sworn I was there.

Fortunately or unfortunately I've never run into "myself" in either Rochester or the greater NY metro. But at this point it wouldn't surprise me.

Gord has a "rough" look about him, particularly when he's bearded. You'd hardly think him such a gifted, intelligent songwriter. I got the impression looking at many of his photographs that he could easily and coolly knock me out had I given him a reason. I say that only because I've seen guys who look similiar to him who were of that disposition.

I saw a man who looked SO much like Gord at the gas station a couple of months ago. I knew it wasn't Gord pumping his own gas here in Delaware, but I found it hard not to stare at him. I had to look away when he looked back, because I didn't have the guts to confront him. He looked like Gord somewhere between the East of Midnight album and the present. Handsome man...

I can honestly say I've never seen a Gordon twin (then again,I may have but not noticed.)

I do recall being in a restaraunt w/ my Mother,Grandmother & brothers in '82/'83 and thinking I saw Kenny Rogers in there!

It turned out it wasn't him of course but a near twin just the same.

It was in the same shopping plaza that I did meet Wolfman Jack though. He broadcasted live from a new shop and gave out autographed photos.
