Re: Pub jam sessions in Toronto-May 8 and 9
Great to hear from you Kenyon and although we realize it's not always easy to attend all the gigs, we have really great memories of the last one and the many great tunes that came out of that amazing gig. "In My Fashion, Baby Step Back." There were so many. That session with the whole crew doing "Seven Island Suite." How could you not forget that experience? It was like none other. Where would you ever get such a treat in a setting where the whole crew knew exactly how to pull off such an amazing piece of work in such an informal gathering? This friends is what the music of Gordon Lightfoot is all about. It's about bringing together people who have been touched by the works of a great composer. It's about people coming together who are sincerely into those great works and when they come together in a group it just seems to automatically pour out and pour out it does with a feeling you really have to be there within the confines of those four walls of that room to absorb the real effect. Almost comparable to sitting out for a little sun just when the time is right in order to get the perfect touch. I didn't intend to go on such a rant here but sometimes it's just not easy to turn it off. But Kenyon, I wish you good spaces in far away places, but the B45 is never too far away from any place where a good player like yourself can make it ring out. Cheers, Ron.
