Re: 2015 Greenbelt Festival
Hi friends.
This was a wonderful festival.
Marian from the Mountains and I made the trek down early Saturday morning to ensure we could catch all the wonderful acts that appeared on the bill.
As as supporter of the Greenbelt folks we try to patronize them best we can.
There were no disappointments that's for sure. A full slate of wonderful performers surrounded by hundreds of vendor booths offering the best of organic foods, fruits, veggies all now in season, many arts and crafts folks and even a wine and beer tent.
The grounds were spacious and the event was well organized. Very friendly folks, many with their families and fortunately the weather gave us it's blessing.
Said hi to Rick as he was passing by. He was concerned about the weather changing as it was becoming quite overcast towards the end of the day and Gord was scheduled to come on at 7:25PM but fortunately it turned out fine and Gord was there on schedule as usual.
Being the ultimate professional he is, despite having to deal with "vertigo" as his doctor was treating him for, and having to travel a shaky bus ride to the gig, he delivered the goods.
As I keep saying, that voice is getting stronger. There's always a little "raspy opening of the pipes" but once that passes, the strength finds it's way through.
Marian took some videos which she's trying to put on Facebook as I've not a clue but if she gets them up and you'e on Facebook listen to the vocals, and even though Gord was dealing with a health issue the voice was there.
More later. Long day it's been but a good one.
