Hi Group,

Looking forward to seeing Gordon in Davenport on March 11

All of a sudden it came to me....Gordon has written so much great stuuff. But has any one written a rhyme to him, from a fan's point of view? Anyways I just did... Thinking of giving it to him after the show.

Here it is:
Ode To Gordon

If you could read our minds
What a tale your fans could tell
All about your music
And why we choose it.
We’d listen in a castle dark or a fortress strong
But usually at home or in the car it’s your music we take along From our second cup of coffee
Driving through the early morning rain
Or in a ship, train or plane
As the evening shadows signal the approaching sundown
We know that we’re homeward and not Alberta bound
Looking forward with delight
To putting on a CD and listening to you on a cold winter’s night

And what did we get for loving you?
Music that brought a tear to our eyes and a smile to our lips
Music that touched our hearts and stirred our souls
Music that has brought us so much pleasure
as we listen measure by measure,
It has given us a lifetime of memories to treasure
