Gord,
I first got hooked on Sundown in 1974, then bought Cold On the Shoulder to see what you were up to the next year. When Gord's Gold came out, I suddenly realized I could collect your music in two directions...so I did! I found If You Could Read My Mind and Don Qixote at a Peaches store in Colorado. I found other albums in Illinois, Ohio, and Alabama.
When I took up guitar, I first learned music from you and Jim Croce.
It's been great, all these years, hearing you sing and appreciating your music. I was in Columbus, Ohio in 1980 when you were getting ready to do Ghosts of Cape Horn. Apparently, the Bell's palsy episode was not too far past, because you explained about the palsy...and then said that if the whistling part of the song doesn't sound right....IT MUST BE HIM! (pointing at Terry!). Always loved your sense of humor.
hang in there, get well, and keep on keepin' on!
Best Regards,
Gary in Dellroy, Ohio
