Well Kendall, I think it is notable (to use a musical reference) that you are interested in learning more about your uncle and his early years in the business. As you probably know, John Stockfish worked with Gord primarily between 1966-68, prior to Gord's greatest success that came in the early to mid 70s. By then John had moved on to Nashville to work with other artists, such as Jim Croce. Unfortunately I do not know the early history of how John and Gord (and Red) hooked up but I'll bet someone around here does. Alternatively, and especially since you are located in Toronto and are a musician yourself, have you attempted to hook up with E.M.P. for any insights into the "early years?" Good luck in researching your family's musical roots!
