Re: GordQuest 2008 continues for DSR and Ken.

DSR, I remember there were 2 couples backstage at the Mohegan Sun Concert 2 years ago, and me. I remember they were following Gordon and the concerts at the time. I was just wondering if it was you?

Re: John Stewart dies

I remember John Stewart from when he was with the Cumberland Trio and onward. I was a fan also. I met him and got his autograph out back of the Melodyland Theater near Disneyland back in 1964. He...

Re: People in used record stores :GL related Question

I kind of judge by what I see at tag sales and flea markets, how big an artist really is. Sure there are Billboard and sales figures, but when I see a lot of used GL albums around, it makes me feel...

Re: blog story about Lightfoot

Probably picked it up when he lived in California. Common fare there.

Re: People in used record stores :GL related Question

Uh oh, that is the one thing that is always open to debate. I have both, and at times I buy older LPs and burn the stuff I want off them to cds. They are way more convinient than lps, and you sure...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Thank you, I didn't know if it was a taboo subject. Some forums have it where you can't discuss personal stuff. Meredith and Miles I knew about, Gordon mentioned how he took her to a Stones concert,...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Yes, I do have a lot of respect and admiration for Gordon. I am in awe of him, and have been for years. He has written so much exceptional music of the highest quality, that I am just astounded when...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Hi Walter, you brought back a memory for me, not about Gordon, but about Lake Erie. When I was 18, I had to drive to Cleveland and help someone move. We took a break and rented a small boat and went...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Just so you understand, I mean he wants things done right at his concerts with no mess and he controls pretty much what goes on with the music. No, not with peoples heads. As far as I understand he...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

You wouldn't have to worry about changing the quarters anymore, the machines are almost all ticket out machines now, and you redeem the tickets for cash when you are done, or keep putting them in...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

I went to some concert schedules and they had links to the prices I quoted. One was Ticketspot and the other was something like that. I didn't look at the Palace box office, guess I should have just...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Yes, been to the Sun too many times, and left much wampum at both casinos. I am on a cut back and now have lost my VIP status too. I gave them both enough, and am tired of the cutbacks in machine...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Hi, I probably have seen you, a time or two. I don't like traveling much to concerts anymore if they are over an hour away, so I don't think I will make those out in Mass. shows either. Plus the gas...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

I don't think he will ever authorize a shirt or anything. The money isn't important to him either. Yes I knew Barry smoked also, so didn't a bunch of my friends who it helped move into the icky...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Yes, it did last time I strung it up. Right now it is in the case with loose strings. It really had nice tone and resonance. Back around 1980, I was offered a $1000 for it by a country singer, due to...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Thanks, and I was born in Taunton, Mass., just haven't lived there since the 70's. I doubt Gordon authorized those shirts, probably someone doing it on thier own accord. But then at $10 per shirt, it...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Thanks Char.
I guess I can fill you in with some about me in this post, I play some guitar, and drums, but not really much anymore. Getting old takes you away from it, unless you are like Gordon...

Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Thanks, I guess I could tell some stories, but I have to be careful about what. Nothing bad ever happened mind you, but was sometimes private info. One story I could tell was about Rick Haynes's bus,...

New here, but not to Gordons music

Hi all, I am an old GL fan and have known Gordon and the band casually since the 1980's. Met them years ago at the old Oakdale Music Theater here in CT. Hung out with them many times backstage and...
