This one goes back to 1974! It was at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Gord was in a really good mood - cracking jokes with the band as well as with the audience. Suddenly he gives a soft 'cuss'. He's broken a finger nail! 'Anybody out there got a nail file?' he calls and to my utter astonishment jumps down from the stage into the arena and passes along the aisle asking for a file.
Somebody handed him an emery board. He filed down the broken nail, handed back the emery board and with a grin vaults back on stage.
As I was sitting in the front row you can imagine how delighted I was. He could so easily have jumped into my lap ... I wish!
This is one of my very special 'bits'
