Endless Wire: a few "free range" thoughts.

When this was Gord's most recent album, it was the same time Doug Wesson of The Troubadore in LA was in need. Gord, and a number of other luminaries did benefit shows at that ol' stompin' ground for Doug.

Seeing Gord w/ full band & full program from 'bout 2' away was very cool - mustache, tinted glasses & all. Backstage at The Troubadore is little more than a big restroom. No passes needed. Great, sweaty time.

Danceable:
Is there a gentle waltz (If Children Had Wings) that cannot glide a couple about the floor?
Hangdog Hotel Room does it, too. (In a saloon you just have so start out w/ Proud Mary, then switch - they'll never know.)

The Personal:
Remains the personal experience drawn out from the songs he gives us.

PS: Anybody know why Gord changed "rubbin' the wrong girl right" to "lovin' the wrong girl right" on stage? I've always related to the "rubbin'"
