Happy holidays to you also and I think you will find that informative posts are plenty and not far between...check out the 'search engine' as there have been prior discussions of Red's passing, Ochs, etc, etc...there was a youtube vid posted showing Red's comedic nature as he performed a diddy
I ran across your 6 degrees tree a few weeks back and found some of the article comments interesting...not that I'm overly interested, but I never knew Rick was JH and that the band vibe was previously affected by any of it
it was interesting to read of all your aquaintances over the years...according to the diagram it seems you are separated from Gord as a "fan" and from Rick as "you've met him"...i never realized those links counted as degrees of separation but i like it
i guess many here fall into that category (separated by a mere 2 degrees!)
i wasn't totally turned off by the 'better' headline but i think you said it best laster in the blog, it's "a matter of taste"
i find many artist's live performances are more vulnerable in feel than their studio vocal tracks...I suppose that all could only do an apples to apples compare after hearing Gord's live rendition
what I love most about many of Gord's studio tracks on Harmony, is the vulnerability present in the vocals which of course were only intended to be guide vocals...if he had the chance to record them as intended, a bit of that flavour might have been lost...we'll never know
lastly, as char said, if there is more Ochs out there, please share
