I will never forget the first time I heard you in December of 1970 on CKLW, out of Windsor, “If You Could Read My Mind”. I have seen you many times in concert since then. I just want to say thank you for your music. You have made my life better because of it.”
Sorry Wes I simply do not believe you! That looks for all the world like the carefully thought out then well honed script of what you planned to say to Gord all nicely typed and printed oot for purposes of serious rehearsal.If you actually managed to blurt out more than the first six words intelligibly then you are a far better man than meGunga Din and 98.6% of the motley crew here.Come clean and admit the truth and if you are going to try again today report on the simplified version that you just might splutter out this evening!!
