Sheryl, thanks for the comment on house made of stone. I've in fact thought of the connection possibly with his being robbed at gunpoint while recording Dream Street Rose; as you point out marc, correctly i think, the time difference would not have jived. In House on Sundown, the lryics were recorded circa '72 - '73, whereas DSR was somewhere around 1980? (wasn't it ?) . I read of the hold-up taking place after a long day of laying down DRS's tracks IN LA too, and him being awfully shaken-up. Who could blame him ? Cathy - thanks for the kind comments. Marc - I'd give my right leg to see Maine in the fall. Are "Whispers of the North" audible in the winter up there ? Also, has this forum spoken of the Jame Brolin show called "Hotel" in the 80's when Gord played a Rhinestone Singer who had a drinking problem and sought his son's forgiveness ? Interesting, too, that the storyline must have struck some painful chord's in GL where some rough parallels may have existed to himself perhaps and the personal demons he spoke openly of fighting in the seventies. If I remember right, in this HOTEL room I recall he was attacked, perhaps further drawing somewhat skewed parallels to the robbery in his room during DSR sessions. Am I remembering this correctly ? -- peace to all of you and my thanks again to kindnesses shown - cathy, sheryl, marc, silverheels, iron, and the rewst, - I will be following up on the personal questions you've askded of me, please be patient and I will answer each of you. Silverheels, as you kindly put - I DO have some new friends in here, and am greatful. Your Q in particular about what DID happen to me I will also answer, but clue mein to the level of detail you'd rather hear, as when I speak of these things it becomes a catharsis of sorts, and
