hey, jess
the first 'rock concert' i saw was at the high school...it was the Stampeders...i wasn't even attending yet but i saw a poster at my elementary school so got tix and heading there on a friday night ...i stood right up at the stage, went deaf aas i gawked at the performers as well as the tall high school gals around me...they wore dresses back then...anyhow a few years later when i attended, we had April Wine too

Lightfoot Lps were always playing late at night on my bro's all-in-one cheapo stereo unit in his bedroom...when i smelled smoke coming into my room from under the door or from his window into mine, i knew i'd be hearing gord or croce soon after

anyhow, the first school friend i met who was gord possessed and could play all his tunes by ear, soon became a longtime bandmate...it's great to collaborate with folks who have similar, great tastes

long live the Lightfootian memories that have shaped us and long live Gord
