I have to concur with everything written here. I am English, born and bred. However my late father was from Newfoundland, and I feel this very strong affinity with Canada, for obvious reasons. I first became aware of Gordon way back in the 60s and was hooked from then on. I admire singer/songwriters, and this guy was outstanding, still is. "Long before the whiteman and long before the wheel" those 9 words say so much. I could go on and on, but will curb the desire. I have seen Gordon in concert twice and have been lucky enough to meet him. My wife and I will be traveling to Orillia to see both his concerts there in September. Looking forward to it.
