We played this game back in 1999 in the chatroom, when we frequently did a coundown then we all started playing the agreed chosen CD from our then new Songbook in sync no not 'Nsync but GL. I remember saying early on that Borderstone was my first unreleased favourite, but later that year Gord featured Forgive Me Lord in his 1999 Massey Hall concerts and it has been my favourite ever since.
I first heard Canary Yellow Canoe at the 1981 Royal Albert Hall London concert
I disliked it then and my opinion has not changed with time, s
sorry Gord you cannot win them all just the majority!!
Funnily enough another rarity in that concert was Keepin' On Yearnin'
and a new song was introduced by Gord under its (full he actually said "unlikely" title) of "Heaven Help The Devil.. May He Have A Few Unpleasant Memories"
In another thread I reffered to Ed Mullen's site especially fan recordings on his "Austin Jam" page;those of you lucky enough to have been at the November 2006 Delta Chelsea Jam session might recall corfid poster Melissa Joe's lovely version of this song. there is a recording of her on Ed's page at:-
