I agree with Jay . . . that Gord must not be for everyone. (I can't imagine not liking his music, but then I'm biased.) I have a terrific circle of friends, ages ranging from 6 yrs to mid sixties and much as we are devoted to each other, our musical tastes are entirely different. It's sad that none of them share my ardent love for Gord's work. But that's okay, too- there's one lady who is a die-hard Neil Diamond fan (That old "has-been", I tell her). And there's the guy who thinks Bob Dylan hung the moon (When is he going to sing without the clothes
pen on his nose? I ask him) They both gang up on me and tell me that "Gord's songs are soooo monotonous". All in fun, you realize. Oh well, to each his/her own. I guess that's why I enjoy this group - we connect!
