I am 34. I love Gordon's music and talent as a song writer. He is CLEARLY, CLEARLY, the quintessential singer and songwriter. I have been a fan since I first heard my brother's Gord's Gold album in the late 70's, namely CRT. At that point I never could have imagined the depth and breadth of the artist that is GL.
Nonetheless, I recall my first live concert in Toronto, and the initial difficulty I had understanding the lyrics of songs that I was familiar with. I attributed this to nothing else, but Gordon's advanced years. I found that PATIENCE was the key in this regard. As the night went on it seemed that his voice became stronger and my ear more in tune. I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere and the thought of actually witnessing him perform. It bordered on spiritual. Hell, it was!
