You're right, Wes. It's funny how it seems like everyone who likes Gordon can remember exactly the first time they heard him and exactly what they were doing. I can only say that about two other things in my life and that was when we first walked on the moon and when JFK was assassinated.
And another thing that's impressive is the impact Gordon's music has had on people's everyday lives. So many folks say how his music has gotten them through rough times. For me it was a few years ago when I had to go through some rugged bouts of chemotherapy for leukemia. There were times when it was only Gord's music that got me through. It was almost as if he had written some of those songs like he knew somehow ... even though, that sounds stupid. But other people with different problems have said the same thing about the same songs I depended on then.
Guess he's much more than a songwriter. He seems to have gotten to the core of us all somehow.
I wish there was some way we could all get together and give something back for all he's given to us -- without even realizing it.
Now, I've had my corny say, so I will leave you in peace.
Keep posting. I meant what I said about putting a portfolio together to give him. I know he would enjoy this. (And isn't it funny that so far, it seems like IYCRMM is THE song!)
I agree with Wes. You guys are a great bunch!
