Over the past few years, Gord has passingly refered to watching his money closely. I suspect a big part of that is his upbringing. However putting together a new record would cost a couple hundred thousand dollars at the very least. For various reasons, Gord writes a LOT of checks per month and IMHO fiscal conservation is as much on his mind as his love of performing for people.
Unfortunately, it seems no one has gotten thru to him about the ability to record cheaply and offer a few songs from time to time over the internet, for a fee. It's something he could work on when he wanted during the winter months when he's off the road. But he's gotta do what he's gotta do.
