In Praise of the Band

A couple of radio plays prompt this...Sundown yesterday, and the Wreck a couple weeks ago...Love Gords tunes, voice, etc like we all do...and as we all do, the band! From back in the day with the jangly guitar interplay with Red, to "the sound" defining leads that Terry arranged for his most classic hits (the ones you can whistle!). And underpinning it all Rick's rock solid bass line that moves deep inside you somewhere, and Barry's drums (like the greatest drummers he places as much value on when NOT to play so that what he plays has emphasis rather than a drone). And those etherial tones from PeeWee and Mike!
I'd love for Gord to put out more music just to hear what those guys can do with it!

Interesting idea. An instrumental album, with new melodies from, and 'charted' by Lightfoot, played by the boys in the band, would be very welcomed. What would the name of such an album be ?
