Just listened to CBC Fresh Air on my truck radio on my way home after a week on the road. They played all 3 songs he sang: Let It Ride, IYCRMM, and Diamond Joe by " Ramblin' Jack Rueben " ( not sure about artist ?? ) I'm always in a good mood when heading home but this just made my week-end!
He began by explaining how much of a challenge it was for him to perform as is anything he does these days. Also the CBC news which played previously played a clip of an interview with Gord and Ron Hawkins . Gord explained he's " just working his way back ".
His voice was strong and distinctly " Gord ".
I think anytime we can hear him sing after what he went through is a blessing.
I'd also like to point out that he's doing charity events during his recovery. ( next concert in Hamilton a benifit for the hospital). A class act all the way ; your the man Gord!
The CBC said you could hear more of the benifit concert on Monday during " Ontario Morning"?
Just a thought: I wonder if he finds inspiration in his song " Let It Ride ", The lyrics would definitely fit his situation.
