well, i hope it's not Stevie... umm, Kenny blew off "Never Say Trust Me"

to my knowledge (thanks to google and the lightfoot site) none of them have cited him as an influence or covered one of his songs, on record anyhow

but i would think Gord would be flattered to have ELH do the honours

i can think of a hundred more interesting compositions than Sundown to have someone perform but i suppose it's a recognizable american classic, so no complaints

congratulations Gordon, long overdue
