I'll never forget that I was taken by suprise by two of Gord's albums coming out when I least expected. They happend to be back to back releases. I was in a Record Bar in a mall in Orland Park, Il in March of 1980 looking at the wall of new albums and there was "Dream Street Rose" on display. Of course I grabbed it. Then I was walking thru the Oakbrook shopping center west of Chicago in 1982 and thru a window about 50 feet away, I could see a photograph of Gord. I got closer and it was
"Shadows" in the record store window. Of course I grabbed it.
