wow, yes...7 years ago tomorrow John Morris was killed... it's just wonderful that his daughter Molly is touring with them - ashame they just lost an older sis

I remember that Jimmy Rankin was supposed to play at that same Farm Tribute gig in Toronto that Gord played (IYCRRM and CRT) at but obviously canceled news of JMR's death came through early in the day

I do love many of their tunes but kinda wish Jimmy was doing this Gord cover, really not a big fan of many of the 3 sis's trio arrangements and vox

a real fave moment: them all performing Trampminer (Jimmy, lead vox) on Juno's back in career peak, mid 90's....so tight, so tight

maybe this is a new beginning...best of luck with the tour

btw, Ann Murray's daughter, Dawn Langstroth is opening...may catch them in Kitchener or Massey
