I was listening to "Waiting for You" and again realized that Gord was in that element of family when he wrote that, young family new babies, the awe (or aw-w)stage. He sang "children are all that the earth wants to know---etc---up here in the north land. I was just getting a first idea of what his new songs after this episode of his life will be composed within the context of... I think a different perspective than any of us have ever heard, but, unique to his flavor. I do hope is still writing songs, it did sound like that is what he is up to now didn't it?
