Re: Songbook & A Look Back.
 

Thanks, John Fowles for your reply. I took your reply to my message as sarcastic, and for that I'm sorry. (I misunderstand people all the time, and it's affecting my job)
I don't want to flame you in public. We've been on this forum a long time, back when I lived in Reno. Let's shake hands and go on.

Re: Songbook & A Look Back.
 

Many thanks Rick for your fulsome apology gladly accepted

The rest of you please excuse my basic British sense of humour its ar its best at the lavatorial level as in this one of the funniest sketches that I know of

YouTube- Funny Public Toilet Handshake

Highly sarcastic British toned video!!
You have reminded me that I have been coming here now for as you intimated a very long time almost 11 years in fact I am preparing a celebration for my upcoming 4000th message by resurrecting my very first new thread (with the catchy subject title "Someone has to be second" made under my original member name John Fowles (with a space) made on September 20th 1999

Re: Songbook & A Look Back.
 

Songbook is a great compilation, but there are some GL songs which should've been on it. Of course everyone has their personal, subjective favorites, here is a list of what I would've liked to hear on Songbook:
Home from the forest
Unsettled ways
Miguel
Redwood Hill
It's worth believin'
Is there anyone home
Summertime Dream
Wild strawberries

thanks for emphasizing that, John, in case the tone of the thread and those song title parodies didnt come across that way to any new folk...nice work on the cover, i have no idea what to expect with the Japan release

bendrick, interesting impressions of the rarities...we have had some sort of Fave Rarities polls was back when they came out but cant find the results...i differ in my faves from your list by a fair degree...if you are looking for a set of those GL stamps and postcard or whatever, looks like i have an extra and can help you out if you missed that boat...pm me or whatever, before they disappear back into the dusty box they just popped out of...if i dont put them away then my son will probably stick them on his toys or body parts

cheers

ps) miss B havin, there is a section at www.lightfoot.ca that has Gord Geographical song references compiled...i personally dont think of that Canoe song as a tribute to Canadian geography but more as a tribute to Canadian whiskey
