I know Gord has less than great things to say about Black Day in July these days but it's been a favorite for a long time.

It is probably the first song I actually heard his voice on. I'd known him as a songwriting credit and was familiar with, and even played, a few of his songs but didn't have albums of him yet.

When I was a teenager we would listen to far away stations on the AM radio skip at night. Of particular interest was the countdown on W-KBW in Buffalo on Sunday nights. (I was in northwest NJ - not in daylight W-KBW range.) One night that played. Wow.
