Toronto CORGGABOOMMOGG

(Continental On-Reflection Giant Gathering
Attended By One Or More Members Of Gentle Giant)

January 30 - February 1, 2004

Super Bowl XXXVIII weekend was a special one for some lucky On-Reflection folks. We congregated in and around Toronto to see The Musical Box perform Genesis’ Selling England By The Pound show at Brampton, Ontario’s Heritage Theatre, accompanied by none other than Gentle Giant’s own Gary Green as our very special guest.

The Astleys and Jakobs extended generous helpings of Canadian hospitality, for which they cannot be thanked enough, in feeding and lodging all of us for the weekend. In attendance for some or all of the festivities were: gg; Dave Sr. & Pat; JJ, KJ & LJ; Marc Catera; Joe Pecorello; Mike Harper; Kelly Mullen; erstwhile listmember Drew Eaton; and yours truly.
