It's a good observation

But Danby was a photorealism artist so instead of using models posing he would take a photo and work from it. I'm sure he would have enjoyed painting a capo.

Since Gord has mentioned several times about his capo regrets, I imagine he didn't want to be immiortalized with one on

Good question for you insiders to ask!

Hey, on original version of Did She Mention My Name he played with no capo in G

At some point before his GG1 medley he moved it up to A, eh?

I don't really like the Gord "man from glad" portrait

My top three Danby's are probably the smoker in the yellow raincoat, the goalie and the hockey skate. They might as well be photographs!
