Wes,
Yes, Wes, he does have a "usual path"...

It's odd you said that it sounded better in concert. Gord himself said the same thing. He said he never recorded it before now because it always seemed to "fall apart" in the recording studio.
I felt the same way when it finally came out. I'm ashamed to say, I didn't even know "Songbook" was out until he announced at a concert at "Humphreys" in June. And even then when he said "Songbook" I thought he was talking about that older Canadian CD that came out several years ago by the same name. He joked and said, "This is 'Songbook' II." "Forgive Me Lord" was the first song I played, too. I've since just about worn it out. It says a lot about how he views himself.

And I'm wondering when he'll release "The Piddling Pup" on a CD. I love that one!!

Everyone have a Merry Christmas. I told my family, I don't care what's under the tree for me on Christmas morning ... as long as it's dressed in denim and singing "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" LOL


Have a great Christmas!!
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 ..."
