I first caught them in February 1999 opening for the Rheostatics at Ted's Wrecking Yard in Toronto as part of Green Sprouts Music Week (that GSMW was 7 straight nights of weakerthans and the rheos).
John K. Samson and company didn't hook me the first night as I was in my own little rheostatic world, but, after the third night I was singing along to Wellington's Wednesdays, Diagnosis and all the rest of the hits from Fallow. By the seventh night, they just became a part of me.
And now Left & Leaving is one of my desert island discs.
