I got home last evening too late, that I missed this program. Didn't know about it, because I would have set the DVD recorder. Manage to see the little interview part Gord did for ET Canada.

I watched and never saw any shots of him in the audience..I'll watch for the ET replay today.

Hope you can catch it Char, it was fast but he mostly talks about his health, the need to exercise, which is good for his singing...

So I missed nothing of him on the program ? Good, I tought he had maybe stayed in Florida after his last concert of 02/24th, for a small vacation...(Biscuit City) lol But I guess he's back in Toronto.
