Default Re: Many of Gord's songs in 3/4 (waltz) time

As I see it, I think that the reason for the music being done to a waltz type beat is because it seems to be a very relaxing & sothing feel to it. As for Wreck of the edmund Fitzgerald, it feels more like an old sea chanty. Of course, I'm no expert, but there you are.
