I think Marsen is asking about the connection between Gord and the musical group called The Band - of "Up On Cripple Creek" and "The Nght They Drove Old Dixie Down" fame

I don't know of any connection except maybe the six degrees of separation type....Gord and Dylan are friends and The Band used to back Dylan. There may be more of a connection that someone more familiar with them could offer.
