The sign he's under in the Songbook booklet is not the one he saw,that's long gone.
Absolutely correct Mr Stoneborder.
My wife and I spent some time after an October 2002 convention (at the Chapparel Suites Hotel on Scottsdale Road)
exploring the fabled highway and Frank LLoyd Wright's house Taliesin West)and I previously replied to a topic
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000607.html
in which "young stranger" said
"Someday, I am going to make the trip across the U.S.
(I live on the east coast) to take the same picture Gord
took that appears on the first page of the booklet
included in the Songbook set. My wall won't be
complete until I hang on it a picture of myself standing
under the Carefree Highway sign in Arizona!"
Actually in the songbook booklet the pic is credited to one Rick Haynes a little known ace photographer see pic of Gords hands on the back of theHarmony booklet. We were unable to find the actual old roadsign and as I explained "There are pictures of me doing just that on the page on my web site
describing part of an Arizona visit in 2002 at:-

the actual Songbook road sign has gone but we did find the one shown here:-
