I'm probably going over old ground here, but I finally downloaded the Warner Brothers demos Gord did back in the mid-60's...and am absolutely floored. So many songs I have never heard before, and so many good ones. What a great Christmas present to myself! How is it that more of these didn't end up on records, or even on the Songbook box set??

After some early listenings, a couple of these tunes really stand out for me: Sands of Time and, especially, New Day (the hook in this song is so clever and unlike anything I have ever heard before). These songs spin around my head all day and show once again what an unbelievable talent Gord has. For those that do not have this set, get it and enjoy (the last place I saw this out here in the DMZ was at the Dime torrent website).

Best,

Tony
