Dr. Don Q - sounds good. I too have read the work. Perhaps it's time to read it once more. I've never been to Spain (to quote Hoyt Axton)but admit to a sweet spot for each of the productions of Man of La Mancha I've seen.
Gord knows that work well, too. Don't know if he's ever been to Spain (but he kinda like the music - oops, Hoyt again) How I'd love to walk those magic lands.
Here's an opinion (mine, I guess) of the meaning behind Minstrel of the Dawn. Perhaps a better word would be the thought behind the song.
NewGLFan, if you're still out there, here goes:
It's always felt to me, even at first hearing so long ago, that Gord was simply singing of himself; the role he plays in the scheme of things - and relishes - and invites us to believe along. Perhaps its his picture of being conjoined with the minstrel saga
And we do fall victim to his Minstrelsy. And it is wondermagic.
If you ask me, I will tag along.
