I had assumed this would be entirely Secret Path-related. Should be interesting.

I have always felt a very strong connection between them - like they were brothers...

Unexpected, this is.

But very cool.

I was hoping we'd get to hear an interview from Gord at some point so I'm very grateful for this. Really looking forward to hearing his thoughts on the summer tour.

Looks like this took place in Kevin Hearn's studio. I posted another pic in solo forum.

Gord hanging around in a recording studio? Intriguing! Could he possibly be working on something new? Or maybe he's simply there to rehearse for the upcoming Secret Path shows. I noticed Josh Finlayson (of the Skydiggers) in one of those photos. Josh has of course played live with Gord many times, as well as being a member of the Country of Miracles.

I'm assuming they're friends. Kev played on a couple Gord solo albums as well as The Last Recluse. Could be it was just a convenient meeting place. Rehearsals make sense too. Pretty sure Kev plays on Secret Path so wouldn't be surprised to see him at the shows.

After watching that clip, I'm super amazed he did that tour...can't imagine struggling to remember my kids names, let alone having to write the name of my interviewer on my hand.
