With regards the "The Last Time I saw Her Face" there was some confusion between some of the members about which song Christian was taking about. Mark Potter had mentioned that he had seen Gord do it in concert once and he a some difficulty with the song. I responded to Chritian off the board and related to him that of all Gord's songs this one seems to be the hardest one to perform for a number of reasons. It's difficult to sing because it requires excellent vocal control, zero defect guitar work and you must draw, it seems on personal tradgedy, for the emotional depth to sing it well. You also can't get too deeply in to it or you wind-up blowing the last verse, as I have seen other artists, including myself, do by just flat breaking down. I shared my personal loss with him and he shared his with me. That's the beauty of Gord's songs. Everyone can relate in some way to what he is saying. Everyone has a memory they can hang on his lyrics that endears what ever favorite song they hold so dear to them. I can't remember who mentioned that tissues were provided in the liner for "Stone Cold Sober", but a full box should be provided for " The Last time I Saw Her Face."
I think that VMagee could really shed some light for us all with reagrds to this song if we just coax her a little.
