Default Re: Wolftrap in June

Wolf Trap...Humid evening (not as bad as it was two years ago...remember BILLW?) with thunder storms just prior to the concert , making the Lawn a muddy mess! Gord entered to a standing ovation and a full house of people of 'a certain age'. He opened with 'Cotton Jenny' followed by (in no particular order) 'Carefree Highway', '14 Karat Gold', 'The Wreck'' and others. He sounded a bit tired during the concert, which, given his tour schedule is not surprising. I think he may have worn himself out... his voice was weaker than I have ever heard it and frankly, he didn't look like he was having much fun...something he usually does. Hopefully, Dorrie (DSR) can provide us with more insights and fill you in on the rest of the songs ...I'm not a good steno and we left early to beat the traffic.
It was fun meeting DSR...Gord acknowledged her from the stage and she 'whooped' it up after most songs. Also she brought me two GL buttons which show a young Gord and GL as he looks now. Thanks DSR! BILLW and Lizanne...you were missed.
