I myself have never been to a concert. I may not get to attend one until at least 3 to 4 years (surely he will still be touring by then). It's going to be a little scary but great fun meeting all the corfidians in person...
You haven't revealed where you reside Ducaire but if you are anywhere near California, Ontario the North East or Illinois I expect everbody would agree that there is no time to be lost and I certainly would not wait 3 or 4 years to see Gord unless you are otherwise engaged or detained??!. We had a big scare just over two years ago and I for one plus my wifew will be trying to see him as often as possible. indeed the reason I am over here was that in 1997 not having been able to see Gord in the UK since 1981 I determined that I would have to come to North America to see him again (as I said at the time "before he and I get too old").Now back to the topic's subject. I have recounted a few times here how priveleged I feel I am to have been listening to Gord's music for nigh on 40 years guess that makes me a very old geezer indeed!. Yes My ears first pricked up way back in 1966 and I got to see Gord in May 1967 in the New Penelope coffee bar in Montreal. then saw him again in 1968 then twice in 1969 before going home to a bleak Lightfootless England
