Tut tut TT you obviously have not trained your mother very well, in my case I managed to make my own dear late mother into something of a fan and she was very well aware of my avid interest in anything to do with Gordon, indeed many years ago she telephoned me one Sunday to tell me that she had spotted in the BBC Radio Times that there was a film called "Wanted Dead or alive"*** on television that afternoon and she had noted that the cast list included Gordon, which I was able to video tape and of course it turned out to the famous "Harry Tracy". ( or " H T Desperado", or "Last of the Wild Bunch" call it what you like it is all aboot HarryTracy!!)
In addition, of course, my very dear mother-in-law, Joan, was converted into a staunch lighthead by Susan and is sometimes known as "mama gordlover" and has accompanied us to a growing number of concerts includingToronto in 2005 and 2006
***Reminds me in an earlier topic at:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...=001860#000013
I said
"I have just rediscovered an old (Betamax) video cassette onto which I had copied from the original VHS tape all the scenes with Gord in from the film that was called "Wanted Dead or alive" when I saw and recorded it from BBC television a number of years ago. and my memory was correct.In the early scene where Harry Tracy and his idiot sidesman dug a hole in front of Morrie's outside loo then wait for him to come out whereupon he fell into it, In my old recording Gord very clearly says "Oh Shit"!! but this has been cut from the version recently issued on DVD. It is some small consolation for the UK version completely omitting the two instances of Gord singing "My Love For You" plus the omission of it in the closing credits.
Very strange

So....I take it you guys have arthritis in your index finger also ? [/QUOTE]Err Umm I really have no idea what you mean by that Ron. I do know that I hope I never get arthritis in my right hand index finger as since my stroke in 2000 a dropped left shoulder has reduced my previous left handed capabilities so I have to do everything with my right hand Including typing with that hand's index finger. However relief is now literally at hand, or mouth rather in the form of the simply brilliant IBM ViaVoice Voice Recognition programme that I am at this very moment using to dictate this reply
a scan of my earlier version's box
which I can thoroughly recommend having just bought version 10 at the very advantageous price of only $29.99 from:-
http://www.pricecastle.com/ibmviavoice.html
rather less than the £99.99 (say $200) that my company forked out for a much earlier version in 1999
and the $29.99 offer although it arrived in a plain clear plastic bag did include the free headset . Unbelievable value.If anybody would like more details do send me a Private Message
