I will definitely let you know, Queen. (Actually, I guess I ought to start thinking of making up my mind pretty soon now -- lol)

Yes, I know where Thousand Oaks is. Speaking of small towns Gord plays at. He played at Lachlin, Nevada last year. Talk about a "one-horse town". And he sold out, too, which is even more amazing. I wasn't putting down Lachlin (in case anyone who reads this is from there), please don't misunderstand me. Actually, I think it's kind of nice that he does get around to the smaller places instead of just the big cities. Makes himself available to people who otherwise wouldn't get to enjoy a concert. He did a concert in Fresno a few years ago just because a group was trying to restore an old theatre that was kind of a town landmark and they were trying to get it back and on its feet again. The concert was kind of expensive, but it all went back into the restoration fund of the theatre, so I don't think he even made a profit on that one. But he drew a big crowd and apparently it was just what was needed. He probably wouldn't have booked a concert there ordinarily. But he's always doing things like that. Guess that's one of the reasons we all admire him so much.

Stay loose, eh?

"Love and maple syrup
go together like the
sticky winds of winter
when they meet....
If you go into the forest
Gaze up through the trees
The sky is white.
You can understand
What makes the forest
Greet the man
Like a mother's only
child ..."
