And the dividers in the Sun arena...I didn't know they did that there. gee, I never became a Wolf member but think I still have a wampum card...but both casinos used to send junk every week then several years ago, I asked to be taking off their mailing list. So I don't get any comps and maybe get to go there to gamble once every year or two. Anyway, glad you got to go and surely, extra special since Gord was starting to tour again.
The town of Vernon just squelched a proposal for an outdoor concert venue. It would have been nice to have that, this side of the rivah.

The Ridgefield isn't a great place, but it does pretty good for what it is. Yes, a old auditorium, but it does have decent sound there. I have seen Brandi Carlile and Jonatha Brooke there and Brandi did sound better than Jonatha, but likely for the reason of the volume level being louder with Jonathas concert. As I said, not as good as Ft. Pierce.
On Christopher Plummer, I had a friend that used to drive his limo in Ct., Christopher lives down near the shoreline, I forget where now, maybe in Madison. He said he was a stiff unfriendly man and never had much to say, except to give orders. That was back in the late 1980's.
