Well yes Steve .Young Tom actually quoted my corfid post and then wenyt on to say that they are therfore now 1/3 the way through thus it would appear that he has e agreed that 300 should be the his team's aim.
Unfortunately I mislaid or misfiled or deleted my working sheet in which I found 300 but I am now redoing it from scratch
and I now realise I was 2 short. I hope to get it finished and uploaded tomorrow now so please hang on there a bit.
I looked hard at the relevant channel page but could not find a quotable reference to "inexact science" although that is the truth.
For example I know of one sadly missed very long time fan and friend of Gordon's who had claimed to us that she had herself tape recorded a huge number of concerts over the years ("every GL concert she had attended") at least up until Hamilton 2004 when her cassette recorder failed and poor dear could not afford a new one) but I suspect that the cassettes and tapes were jettisonned along with the several tons of newspapers she had admitted were filling her Toronto apartment. and preventing access to the tapes when I asked to look at them so a potentially huge number of unique recordings albeit possibly of dubious quality have gone forever unless her sister realised what they were and either saved them or passed them to Gord.
In addition judging by the problem Gord said he had selecting the 16 rarities on Songbook I rather suspect that there are many more where those relative gems came from which I know we would all like to see released in lieu of any newly written songs/albums. Are you reading this Gord???
Thanks for your latest email Steve I will be replying ASAP
