I know exactly how you feel about Glen, Joanne. Sitting next to this man was a joy. He is such a humble, decent guy, and such an incredible talent. You know Rick is a friend, buddy, and hero of mine, and Glen (as you said so well)was one of Rick's heroes. I guess that really puts him up there for me.

Was there ever a couple of better people than Paul and Bev Mills? I can't imagine it. I often say that I would have loved being a Canadian, because I love the place, its people, my friends and cultural base so very much. And a perfect example of why that iswould be Borealis Records. If I could think of one perfect reason why I would love to be a Canadian, it would be to be part of Borealis. In every event they are there, they donated a pile of CD's for sale and every Bluenose imprinted dime of the proceeds went to the charity.

To me, when I look up and see Paul Mills, Grit Laskin, and Bill Garret onstage, surrounded by the most amazing cast of players and singers ever ........ I know that I can smile and say, "I was there....".
