I can't believe all the connections we've had with Gord! I was around 11 at the time this happened -- my parents were travelling around the southwest on a vacation with us kids when, stopped at the red light by the library, we saw Gord and Rick run in right after the streaker. I yelled to my dad to stop the truck, shouting, "Daddy, there's Gordon Lightfoot!" But he refused to stop, saying, "I don't want anything to do with longhairs and their wild music!" I tried to hum a few bars of "Carefree Highway" to convince him of Gord's worthiness as an artist, but, <sigh>, no go. We went on our way and ended up, eventually, at The Ponderosa ranch (yes, there really is one!) in a nearby state. The coincidences continue...
