On June 7th Tom Sadge arrived in Toronto for his second Canadian tour as a Neil Diamond impersonator. 15 cities in 21 days....13 hour bus rides....the thought could be overwhelming if not so much fun! The company of Tom's fellow "Legends Alive" performers, which included impersonators of Reba, Roy Orbison, Celine Dion, Sha Na Na, Donna Summers, Tina Turner, The Village People and, of course, Elvis Presley was something Tom had been happily anticipating.

After many 6-14 hour bus rides, Tom can still see the interior of this beauty with his eyes closed.

Sha Na Neil!

Some of these talented entertainers, as well as all of the band members, Tom had met on the previous tour...others were newcomers. Meeting again with old friends, and constantly making new ones- that is the life of an entertainer! On the way to Whitehorse, and a looong way from home!        The tour was not without a few unexpected surprises for Tom. The beauty and bustle of Vancouver, Victoria and several other major Canadian cities was expectd. But Tom had never been as far north as Whitehorse where the sun, during June, never completely went down. And the first hour of the concert in Saskatoon at the "Saskatchewan Place" arena went well- until the power went completely out! But the show did go on with Tom and his fellow entertainers performing an impromptu "a cappella" rendition of oldies for the several thousand in attendance. It was an exuberating experience but a rewarding one for all. The audience loved it!

The wild animals were breathtakingly beautiful- and plentiful- in the Yukon Territory. Elk, moose and other exotic breeds abounded and could be seen along the roadside as the tour bus moved along. Unfortunately, Bigfoot was not sighted...but snow-capped mountains and emerald green/sapphire blue lakes were.

At Medicine Hat Tom was interviewed, before the show at "The Arena", by entertainment writer Mike Stimpson of "The Medicine Hat News" When he received a copy of the interview a few months later he was happy to read that Mike had given Tom's Neil Diamond performance a glowing review. You can view the entire article, and read the relevant excerpt, at the top of this page.
