reply to posting by Rick Mundane yesterday
Sitting here in the UK at 1830, listening to the BBC. Gordon has been played twice today, WOW.
Desmond Carrington played 'Sundown' earlier this afternoon. Thank you Des. I recall a few years ago on Remembrance Day being nicely surprised by Des playing Protocol!!
A few moments ago Ed Stewart has mentioned Gord's birthday, and played Gordon's version of 'Early Morning Rain', plus Connie Kaldor singing 'If You Could Read My Mind' from the new Tribute album. Well done Ed and thanks.
Good for Stewpot.
Now Rick just get on by e-mail or whatever to Whispering Bob Harris whose neglect of Gord is truly shameful. for a DJ who prides himself on his usual ecletic playlists.
In fact checking his site's playlist section reveals that he has played Gord 4 times (all Sundown)on 18 may 2002,13 may 2002,19 june 1999and 20 june 1998. Boring!!!
Also Rick as you are in the UK you should make yourself known to the UK Fan club branch supremo (BrunaZanelli@aol.com)(Croydon-based )who posts here frequently as "Silverheels" as no doubt should there be a chance for us all to meet up again at Massey Hall (May 2005 fingers crossed) she would be organising the British/Irish invasion no doubt
Cheers

On a personal level, I hit the big 58 yesterday.
