the first mention of ITA was in private correspondence with him in 2000.
the first actual chat with him about it was in our first phone call - March 2007.

CHAR: Are there any songs that you’ve written and performed over the years and you don’t do any longer for whatever reason that you wish you could do again?
G.L.: Yeah there’s a lot of songs that have to sit on the sidelines but we do manage to fit them in once in a while.
CHAR: I know you throw Ponyman in once in a while. What I’d like to hear is “I’ll Tag Along.”
G.L.: I know, see that’s a very nice song and it’s one of my favourite practice tunes as well to play when I’m working here alone at the house. I sometimes would like to do that to open up side two and I could think about doing that….maybe I’ll try that.
CHAR: It’s a beautiful song.
G.L.: It’s fun to sing too, it’s a nice song.
CHAR: There’s a video, something by the CBC, did you do a video of that where you’re sitting on a stool with just your guitar at Massey?
G.L.: I think I remember when I did that – yeah! We did it sitting on the stage at Massey Hall. Except my A string was out of tune! The guitar tuning was off that day.
CHAR: Oh geeze, you’re probably the only one that would know that. Are you still that much of a perfectionist?
G.L.: Oh yeah, we’re more professional about intonation than before.
