I'm not sure I'll be waiting out back after the show. We've done it a few times but not last year. If you do stay to meet him and it's like it used to be, without him seated at a table, you can have your photo taken with him & speak to him. He is so nice & down to earth, rather soft spoken, friendly, smiling. What a guy! So I hope you get to meet him. Just be patient though. My experience is that about 1/2 hour after the show, Terry, Barry & Mike come out & mill about. Then about 1/2 hour later Gord & Rick come out.

One year, my father, who usually goes with us, got there early & parked behind the bank. After the concert, we all hung around & when it was time for the band to leave, Gord & Rick walk over to a car parked next to my dad's car, they get in & drive away. I just thought it was kind of funny, parked right there like they were at the concert, not in the concert. Not ushered out to a waiting limo with chauffeur to drive them off. There was a big tour bus, I suppose for the other guys.

Hope you all enjoy the concert tonight. I'm looking forward to it.
