Having spent some time looking at favourite song entries it is clear I have nowhere near the breadth of knowledge of G.'s music. I have very recently bought a live DVD "Live in Reno" and the Canadian Railroad trilogy which I have heard many times before continues to grow on me , was wonderful. My 3 favourites though are "the Wreck..." (not very original I know.) "The House You Live In's" lyrics are a lesson in themselves , but I love the uplifting and joyful ,(maybe rather less profound), "Summertime Dream" which I love so much I intend to have it played at my funeral - hopefully in around 40 years time! A celebration of life song. P.S. I wish Gord. would tour in Australia - I don't think he ever has.
