Char: The pronounciation of Bemidji is: Bah-mid-gee

Another highlight from the concert was that Gord acknowledged that the headwaters of the Mississippi River is near Bemidji. Where the Mississippi River begins in Itasca State Park, the river begins with a trickle that you can toss a rock across. By the time the river gets to New Orleans, it is quite wide - 1/3 to 1/2 mile, if my memory serves from being there.

Dave: Glad to brighten your day in Australia with these set lists and reports from North America. Thoughts and prayers for you and your wife duirng this difficult time.

Best and Good spaces,
