Well, I'm at the position that I just got the CD yesterday...I was late in ordering it at CD Universe, and since I pay by check, it takes a while to clear the check, etc. Well, I just have to say it is my favorite CD of Gord's since "Shadows". He sounds aged, experienced, more confident in what he has to say and how to say it. I have no doubt that if his diaphram and larynx can handle it, there will be a #21. He might deny it, but I trust he's written half the songs during his recovery that could appear on #21 if he wants. Unforunately, radio stations don't usually play CD's of people over 50 (UNLESS YOU SUBSCRIBE TO XM RADIO WHERE I'VE HEARD GORD QUITE A BIT..ARE YOU LISTENING?) so I doubt you'll hear it "over the air". But then again who heard any of Dylan's stuff off of "Time out of Mind" on the radio, even tho it won a Grammy for best album...
"River of Light" keeps running thru my mind just like "My Little Love" did when I first heard "Painter" for the first time. Nice going Gord..a real gem to add to your "cannon".
