Auburn Annie,

I just played my cassette of Bob Seger's "Against The Wind" and I agree that the harmonising voice at the end sounds uncannily like our Gord. I was heavily into Seger in the 1970s-80s. I later thought he must have retired quietly, but I recently discovered he recorded an album of new songs (and then did a concert tour) a couple of years ago. Apparently he had spent the intervening 11 years as a hands-on family man after becoming a parent late in life. He never toured Australia, but I understand he suffered from the fear-of-flying phobia. That's a pity, because his Silver Bullet Band was brilliant in concert and "Live Bullet" and "Nine Tonight" were as good as any live album I've heard.
