"Elvis Has Left The Building"
In recent years Gord's lead in to Early Morning Rain is a story about how when Elvis recorded the song he changed the words "can be" to "might be". He usually tells us to listen for it because he now sings it that way. He also relates the story of how he was asked to meet Elvis back stage at Buffalo's Memorial Auditorium after one of Elvis's concerts there. As the story goes, Gord and Rick Haynes are struggling to get back stage after the concert against thousands of people who are trying to exit the building. During their struggle they hear the ominous words; "Elvis Has Left the Building". In the interest of waterfront redevelopment, Buffalo's Memorial Auditorium is being torn down and all the "Elvis's" have now left the building never to return :-(
