I love that house. For some reason it seems to me that Gord belongs there. It's like the house was made for him and all that he's about.

I was living in Toronto at the time and I remember hearing the news when the house went up for sale and it gave me a feeling of sadness.

Every now and then I would take the day and ride my bicycle all through Rosedale and go by that beautiful house and think about all those wonderful songs that were rehearsed and sung there. Those were the good days.

Also the location was perfect for him, especially being so close to downtown, and he loves his city.

The good news is that it's part of the conservation project thanks to good ol' TO City Council.

Cheers, RJ.
