Just a thought.

Wouldn't it be nice if GL would have those wonderful back-up singers that all the other artists use for live shows.

You know the 2 girls and a guy sitting on stools providing magical harmony lines in his live shows.

I've been recently listening to how many of his recording have harmony in them. There's alot of them.

High and Dry...was that supposedly Cathy Smith doing the singing.
Did She Mention My Name
Second Cup of Coffee
Sundown
Carefree Highway - Its subtle ..but I think its there.
many more.

I think we should petition him and then convince him that its good.
He eventually added a drummer then the keyboards..now its time for the sexy back up singers ...I'm quite serious ..I think the shows would take on a whole new look.

Oh While I'm at it....Since the tour dates are a modest number..less hectic..Red Shea should get out and do some with Terry. Wow the sound would be great.
