I literally sat in my chair and cried for him. Gord looked fairly good when he started, BUT at the end, he looked like he was in so much pain. Commercial free ! Thank you CBC! The concert lasted 3 hours long. Everyone loves him so much, CBC tv showed the concert LIVE to all Canadian's. But they did it ! They started on the West Coast of Canada and did tours all the way back to his home town, Kingston.

said he was so badm he suggested him not to do it. He did a live tour after he told people that he was dying of a rare fatal Brain Disease. Tonight, August 20th 2016 was an exception ! They sang FIDDLERS GREEN, live in Kingston, Canada. It is so painful, they don't do it that often because it hurts so much.

It also happens to be TRULY Gords Nephew. I always knew this song was about a death of a child, but as life happens, this song now has new meaning to me ever since losing a young grandson.Ībout a mother who lost her little boy at a very young age due to heart problems. If only things could be different “nothings changed anyways”. “Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain” (Flastaff is a character from a Shakespeare's play) music played to accompany the boy as he leaves this earth. He won’t be alone as he travels to Fiddler’s Green. The boy has lived a short life so he hasn’t met many people or been may places. Her son is now in heaven where children don’t want to go to sleep. Where there is perpetual mirth (laughter and happiness) and a fiddle that never stops playing. This line tells us that the child is now in “fiddler’s green” (a sailor’s afterlife).

It is a sad song that describes the passing of child. His heart could not take it and he passed away “her son is gone alee” (the higher side as on a ship). This child was born with a heart defect “His tiny-knotted heart, Well I guess it never worked too good”. Fiddler’s Green is a song about a mother who had a son who was born on September 17.
