Dr. Q: Again, well spoken, as is your way.

I would enjoy such line-by-line analysis, too. However, in my first response to that much answered question: "What's Your Favorite GL Song,"

I responded, "Shadows."

With serenditpity too wonderful to pronounce, I was able to join Gord, the band, and the friend who brought me, in his hotel room after-concert at Universal City, in LA.


I asked him what was behind Shadows. He replied, "If I told you, it wouldn't belong to you anymore."

In the Deep South they say, "You been readin' my mail," when someone/somesong hits 'em head-on in the heart.

Gord seems to often "read my mail." I think, "Now, how did he know what I was goin thru?" So, it belonged to me.

Hopeful Romantic, I've often sung The Minstrel of the Dawn on stage - dreaming I was the Minstrel. For a season, I was.

Afterthought: In Jerusalem, near the Western Wall, there was once a fellow dressed in robes, strumming a small hand-held harp, and singing Christian songs.

He wasn't busking; he took no money; for him, it was his ministry. Gentle, soft sung ministry.

In his fashion, he too was a Minstrel.
