Being married to a
very important Susan, I personally can never forget the cream of the cover's bunch.
"On Susan's Floor" by the late by Shel Silverstein and Vince Matthews.
Of course there are dozens we would all love Gord to record, starting with the traditional "Farewell To Nova Scotia"
which fortunately is floating around as a couple of bootlegs; 1965's La Cave or the infinitely better and livelier "stomping"version from a 1971 or 1972 UK BBC television broadcast.
When tackled aboot recording it Gord usually counters by saying something like he would be stepping on Ian Tyson's toes, probably the same would apply to a cover of Ian's Four Strong Winds althouh to some ears (mine especially)
Mike Kublik's solo, on the Chad Mitchel Trio's version sounds uncannily like Gord
