I love this topic.
My three are On Susan's Floor, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (had to include this one because I love it and it puts me into instant day-dreaming mode), and Changes.
After one of the Glenside shows, FL and I waited in line and met Gord. I asked him about Phil Ochs and if he planned on including Changes on his set list. He lit up. He told me how sad it was about Phil and that they were very good friends who used to hang out in NYC (Greenwich Village) a lot with an actor friend (forget his name). He said he remembers Phil teaching him the chords to Changes on the back steps of a Toronto coffee house.
Priceless stuff!! To my knowledge, however, he hasn't done Changes in concert since then.
Oh, and I'll probably regret not including Me and Bobby McGee.
