Just perusing this thread for the first time, and ANNE, you have a lovely name (just like my wife!). When we were dating, I would listen to Carefree Highway and imagine the pain of losing my Anne.
Dan, I feel a lot like you do. I like a lot of pop music, but one of the reasons that I have always been drawn to Gord's music is that if I could be a musician, I would want to be just like him in terms of performance. Until I started reading these messages, I didn't have a very good idea about what Gord the person was really like. I am very happy to learn that he is considerate and not too full of himself.
Now, as to a character from a song: I like the central character from Crossroads.
"I've seen the country growin' like a fair and mighty thing
And on the still of a summer night I've heard the mountains ring.
In the good land, Iwas young and I was strong
No one dared to call me son
Happy just to see my day's work done
See my day's work done!"

Well I guess I'd be "Bill" as in Long Thin Dawn:

Right now I'm on a highway just east of Omaha
Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
All the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill

And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again

(The thing I notice when y'all bring up old topics is how many people who used to post here are GONE. Now why do you think that is?)

Bill

I would like to be the woman in 'Affair on 8th Avenue". Believe me I have plenty of paper and tin in my house but I don't call them treasures.

I want to be Harmony. I've always wanted to be a poet's Muse. I tend to think that's what Harmony is about.

Everyone sing!>>>
"Glad nobody said it,because now I can,
I say I would truly like to be The Pony Man!"

Sounds like a very fun person or being to be! Sure beats "Uncle Toad!"

I've given this serious thought(probably too much-was I supposed to get some work done today?) Very definitely, the woman from Softly:
Down the halls I hear her footsteps on my stairs, then she is in my arms once more..."
Are you with me, ladies?

Yea, Gwen never is here anymore, Cathy has been gone for about 2 months. Even the Watchman is seldom around. Oma hardly ever shows up Titan quit all togther. I didn't know Wes but he seemed to post a lot and it was interesting reading.
