Gord Gigs

Some Thoughts On Concert Year 2018 A watershed year of sorts with Gord and myself celebrating a combined 145 years of membership in the human race. Our birthdays are one day apart calendrically plus 15 years chronologically. Significant birthdays they were for both of us, he turning the phenomenal age of 80 and me reaching…

As part of this trip we’re currently on, we had to fly from El Paso TX to Scottsdale AZ. We passed over Albuquerque NM at 40,000 feet and I was reminded  of an emergency landing we made there just last year. We were heading back to Toronto from Scottsdale and at around 1:00 am MST…

Hi everyone I’m going to have to start calling this “MtH Weekly Maybe”. Or how about “MtH Weakly”? If I apologize everytime I miss a week or two, its going to get old fast. So I won’t.

I did most of his live shows and played on his second album. His producer, guitar player, and music biz partner, Tommy Graham,…

Hi everybody! I apologize if anyone was disappointed last weekend. I have this vision of people frantically checking the site every half hour for a new post. Wanting, needing, thirsting, for their weekly shot of air-headed foolery. I will try to make up for it over the next few weeks by being even more mind-blowingly moronic,…

Hey everybody Anyone got the blahs? The festive hoopla is over and what are we faced with? Ten weeks at least of WINTER. The Toronto area has it easy compared to the rest of Canada with the exception of extreme south western British Columbia. Travel 50 kilometres outside of the Greater Toronto Area and there’s…
