This is a very good topic charlene, I'll give it a try.
The man- Just a man Gordon himself would probably say the same thing. He has a gift that he shares with all of us, but he is still just a man. He has made mistakes just like all of us, but he put them in songs. The lyrics-haunting, beautiful,colorful His stage performance-commanding, warm, masterfull His effect on me-he's a calming release I had to use four words for that one I hope you can excuse me. His voice-A well tuned instrument Again I had to use four words, but what the hey. This has been a touchy topic on this board for a while. I don't care what others say I feel Gord has always been in command of his vocals. His legacy-All his songs No matter who you are, wether you like his old stuff or new, his music will always be his legacy. Unless you are his best friend or relative your only real connection with the man is through his music. I feel that is what his goal has always been. To touch as many people as possible through songs. Well I hope that is what your looking for Charlene. I'm sorry I have not been around much lately, but I've just been given my transfer orders. In July I leave New Orleans, and head to Jacksonville FL. After two months there I head to Pennsylvania. Nothing like military stability. So I'll be with you for the next few months then I'll be gone for awhile, but I'll be back. ------------------ "If people could look into each other's eyes What a wonderful place this world would be" GL |

Well Charlene I don't know how to deal with it. This will be my first major move since I've had my wife and son. Besides the Navy will do all the moving for us, all we have to do is find a house.

LAMS ------------------ "Love and maple syrup go together like the sticky winds of winter when they meet.... If you go into the forest Gaze up through the trees The sky is white. You can understand What makes the forest Greet the man Like a mother's only child ..." |
