Wes,
Since you brought it back to the top...
1. The Massey Hall concert idea sounds great! My wife and I saw him there once in the 70's. It reminds me of a Shakespearean Theater...I guess people were smaller then.
I know you are in Cleveland, Hamburg NY wouldn't be a bad pit stop, we are about 10 minutes from the NYS Thruway(Interstate 90).
2. I remember seeing him with Leona Boyd at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo. Don't remember the exact date but it was in the 70's too. I remeber seeing him with a lady who sang but I don't remember her name. She related that the only problem with touring with Gord was that she didn't have the opportunity to do his songs because he did them. She did do Cobwebs and Dust because she said he wasn't doing it on the tour. Could this have been Leona Boyd.
3.Florian..Great response to what a 'Florian' is.
4. My concert story; In the early 70's they never let you take pictures at Gord's concerts. (My brother-in-law said it was because his image was a commodity and a source of revenue for him and Gord wanted to control it.) Anyway my brother-in-law smuggled a camera into the concert hall and snapped a picture during the concert. As soon as he took the picture a security gaurd came running over and while shaking his night stick in my brother-in-law's face told him if he takes another picture he would be removed from the concert hall. Needless to say he didn't take anymore pictures.
Well I have places to go and people to see!
Dan
