CMDJ - coming right up to date here ... how
about Gord doing the current George Strait hit 'Go On'. However, at the end of the day I love Gord doing Gord best of all. |

Speaking of Eric Clapton (what?!) I think I'd like to hear GL do Wonderful Tonight..although Clapton does do it beautifully...
Started reading this thread and din't realize I picked it up from the beginning, but you guys (us guys) are NUTS!!! This is a great site. Aside to MMB: It's lovely that you can be so gracious about "Elizabeth." I'll stick with the others..no cloning..give me the real thing...LOL http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif And Frank, you are hysterical. Keep getting lost in the wrong threads, you are too funny!

Storm, I LOVE Two More Bottles of Wine..that's a great album, Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town....how do you like her duet with Willie Nelson on "One Paper Kid"? I think it's fantastic...that album has a lot of good "road songs" on it too...great thought! (Oops, am I off the topic? Don't send the ng police after me, I'm new too!) http://www.corfid.com/ubb/redface.gif

Storm, I like your taste! LOL
How about "The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore," the version Michelle Shocked does...that's a great song and I think Gord would do it beautifully...with help from Terry of course! Barbara |

I have a couple of songs to add to this great list.Jesse Winchester's "Yankee Lady" and Harry Chapin's "Taxi".The first is more lyrical and wistful, the second is more raw and gritty but both are great stories that Gord could take to another level.

Last Thing On My Mind - Tom Rush
Char It's a lesson too late for the learning, made of sand, made of sand, in the wink of an eye my soul is turning, in your hand, in your hand. Are you going away with no word of farewell, Will there be not a trace left behind, Well I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind, You know that was the last thing on my mind. Well you got reasons a-plenty for going, This I know, this I know And the weeks have been steadily going Please don't go, please don't go. Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind you know that was the last thing on my mind. As we walk on my thoughts keep on tumbling, round and round round and round And underneath our feet the subways rumbling, underground, underground. Are you going away with no word of farewell, Will there be not a trace left behind I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind. As I lie in my bed in the mornin Without you without you Every song in my heart dies a'bornin Without you Without you Are you going away wwith no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind. It's a lesson too late for the learning Made of sand made of sand In the wink of an eye my soul is turning In your hand In your hand. Are you going away with no word of farewell And will there be not a trace left behind I could have loved you better I didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind You know that was the last thing on my mind. |

That is a great great song. I first heard the Peter Paul and Mary version and that's the one I got to know. Their harmonies are so amazing....
Cat Stevens was also one of my all-time favorites; and Carly Simon, Simon & garfunkel..I'd like to hear Gord sing Morning Has Broken... |

Dear Char,
Again, you bring up a song that was stored in the back of my brain. This is one of my favorites from the 60's. I know you are ten years younger but we share the same taste in music. Thank you. Isn't that song "Beautiful" Betty |

If you can get past all the commercialism in his career, John Denver could write some down to the core songs. "Seasons of the Heart" is a song that I always imagined Gord had written or would sing.
And I'm walking here beside you in the early evening chill A thing we've always loved to do and I know we always will We have so much in common, so many things to share That I can't believe my heart when it implies that you're not there So I don't know how to tell you, it's difficult to say I never in my wildest dreams imagined it this way But sometimes I just don't know you, there's an emptiness inside So many things I long for have so often been denied Still I wouldn't try and change you,there's no one left to blame It's just somethings that mean so much and we just don't feel the same Love is why I came here in the first place Love is now the reason I must go Love is all I ever hoped to find here True love is still the only dream I know |

Does anyone remember Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Until it's time for you to go?" I think the Lightfoot magic would make it even more poignant. (By the way, mentioning Buffy Sainte-Marie makes me feel really, REALLY old, so be nice, guys!) http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Knotty Pine: CAT STEVENS ALERT!!!!
On VH-1, Behind the Music, Oct.1 (according to TV Guide)they will talk to Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat) - don't miss it! Char - I also like the version Neil Diamond does of "The Last Thing On My Mind" - it is so mournful and gut wrenching, you just want to bawl. But I like it like that! --Judy ------------------ "the mornin' after blues, from my head down to my shoes..." ------------------------- "Laughing eyes and smiling face..." |

Great ideas in here. Just wanted to make sure we had it right - Tom Paxton wrote "Last Thing On My Mind." One of his very early songs. Tom keeps going and going... Much of his stuff would work well for Gord.
I'm fortunate enough to own a guitar that Tom used to own. Just one of those in the right place at the right time things. A Martin M-36. It's a 79 that I bought in 82. My main guitar. Now if only Gord would sell me a guitar.... |
