My man, John U. Bacon, has gone north of the border.

He is somewhere in Canada.

Banks, where in the world are you?

I'm a place called Aurelia, Ontario.

It is about an hour and a half north of Toronto on the water here.

It is the birthplace of, yes, Gordon Lightfoot, and I'm here for a festival called Lightfoot Days. The band was here last night, and they gave me about a five-minute

plug from the stage, and that, my friend, trust me when I tell you, it's as close as I'm ever

going to get to a musical stage. Come on, man, you have played the Michigan Theater stage. That's a musical stage. That's true. Dude, there's playing it and there's talking on it.
