The two flew into Canada earlier Saturday and travelled to Orillia for the concert and a public visitation planned for Sunday.“I’ve been listening to Gordon since (my mom) introduced me as a kid … and he’s been a part of my life almost on a daily basis since,” said Rick.“We kind of had to be here.”“Early Morning Rain: The Legend of Gordon Lightfoot,” a musical retrospective...
