You can see that there are a number of new songs added to the regular set list, as well as many old favorites – which can never been omitted! I have been told that the audiences are enjoying the shows very much and I look forward to seeing them myself in a few weeks.

For anyone who is interested, you can find “Sailing to Rio” on Gerry’s son Kane McGee’s YouTube Channel. This has not been recorded (yet!) for any CDs.
