And when I arrived in Trenton, NJ, in April
(practically just off the flight from UK
and feeling very jet-lagged), I left a note
on stage asking him to sing 'Christian
Island', mentioning that I was 'jet lagged'.
He read my note, acknowledged it but said
he couldnt sing it becos they hadnt rehearsed it. After the interval, he returned and as the first chord sounded, he
looked down at me (in the front row), smiled and said 'this one is for Jet-lagged'. I
must have jumped a foot in the air.
This is one of my fave Gord memories. There
will be lots more, I'm sure.
