Re: CASINO RAMA-ORILLIA-May 30-2015
It was a terrific night - Just before the show ROnnie Hawkins was brought in to his seat in a wheelchair. He's not feeling well for a while but it was great to see him come out and see Gordon. I knew that Gordon would sing Home From The Forest....in the video you can see Ronnie's dark image and his waving hand when Gordon was introducing the song.
Gordon started out a bit raspy and breathy but after a few tunes he settled in and was wonderful.. He didn't chat much and did 24 tunes. He threw in his 'allo allo allo' joke and the meet me at the rockpile one too.. lol.. Of course the 90 minute casino shows go by way too fast for my liking and before we knew it the show was over.. At the merch table I got one of the black t-shirts with the script writing "LIGHTFOOT".. There were ladies and mens in black and a unisex white with a different font.. It was great to say hi to the band and their families and of course the new Mrs.. Gordon was overwhelmed with casino folks but Warren, as usual kept up a brisk pace and everyone left smiling. I had only a few moments with Gordon, just enough to ask how he was - he's feeling fine! - and get my stuff signed... They were all anxious to finish out the night, some staying over at the hotel and some heading home for a much needed 9 days off. Kim was going to take her hubby home and get him to rest too...they are back out on the 10th, heading to California for a show on the 11th..a very ambitious 19 nights out/14 concert tour in 7 states and 2 provinces... exhausting!!
Enjoy the videos!!
