"On Susan's Floor" and Gord's story.

That Gord didn't write it (Shel Silversteen and another gentleman whose name I can't get right now) makes no difference at all.

For Gord there was a "Susan."
For Shel there was a "Susan."
For me there was a "Susan"

To be bold, if a young musician didn't have a "Susan" that would be a sorrow.

Still, it is Gord's version that introduced me to the song which describes so perfectly the Scufflin' Days of Dreams.

Just one more night on that long-ago floor - even now for this old man - would be a form of Heaven.
