luxton- he said he picked it because he thought it was obscure and no-one would connect it to him. (haha)I asked him if he was from Winnipeg right away. He seemed to get a kick out of throwing little teasers at us until he came right out with it.

So how did you find out it was really himself?

When we'd gotten really suspicious, a few people fired really obscure questions at him that only he would know. He passed with flying colors. Then Fred, who knew about it beforehand, said, "Everybody, meet Burton Cummings." Couldn't have been more dramatic. We all babbled away for a few minutes trying to express our appreciation for his WONDERFUL music and then settled in to a fairly adult, intelligent chat with only a few asides like, "My God, I can't believe this" or "Where'd the air go in this chat room. I feel like I can't breathe." A GREAT time was had by all. I think Burton had a good time, too. At least he was gracious enough to make us feel that he did.

Ken, I'm sure you know by now that Burton's handle was Luxton. Still using it on the board. One thing that hasn't really been mentioned yet is how he got out of the room when it was finally time for him to go--he was headed to his home studio to do some recording. Since everyone was still there that late because of him, how was he gonna leave, just walk out? He SANG his way out of the room. Is that classy, or what? We all loved it! What a night!
