How great! Congratulations, guys! You look good in GOLD!
See you at the Southern Theatre in Columbus, Ohio! (IF the power is back on by then. Hurricane Ike really caused some havoc here too!)

I feel very proud of the guys.
They always come across to me as a band of iron-willed, road warriors that has carved its own path in an often superficial and fickle industry. Great Big Sea has earned a place in fans' hearts many times over, moment by moment, mile by mile.
Gold & platinum records aside, GBS tours always inspire and bring me JOY. I've been lucky enough to see a live show recently and only hope I can cheer, clap, and sing heartily enough to reward all the energy the band puts out there.
I want to be lining up for GBS shows when they release their 30th gold or platinum album and I'm 70. I plan to be.

Congrats Gents! Nothing like Gold!! Well, perhaps platinum...one needs to have goals. I have the extreme pleasure of owning all your albums and growing with your music as you have evolved.
