My bass player, Robert Depelteau and I met up with the Lightheads for the jam after the Massey Show at the Delta Hotel here in Toronto. It was a real treat for Rob & I as it was our first time meeting up with these Lightfoot folks.
We started out playing in suite 1080 around 11pm, but we ended up jammin' on the main floor of the hotel as a result of noise complaints that we were keeping others from sleep with our music. The Garden Bistro was gracious enough to allow us to continue our jam at their restaurant.
We carried on until 1:30 in the early morn' playing and singin' mostly Gord tunes. There was only 5 or 6 of us playing the music, but there was quite an audience who stayed with us till the end, joining in on the songs.

I can't recall the names of any that I was introduced to with the exception of Char. Perhaps someone could help me out on who was there.
There was so many Americans who flew' in for the show. Gord was truly humbled at the large attendance of fans from all over the U.S.
Many of his family members were aboard as well as Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins and Randy Bachman, former Prime Minister of Canada, John Turner and other noteables I can't recall.
I managed to introduce my tribute song of Gord to the Lightheads called Lightfootin'
All in all it was a great evening of new friends and great music.

Ray in T.O.
