My personal take on the e.o.m.album was the songs were well written ,of course well performed but I hated the "horns". I saw Gord in concert in the late seventies,also afew other times,but on this particular evening he began to sing "Minstrel of the dawn" .He started off acapella and sang a few bars with little or no musical accompaniment before his band began to join in. It stands out in my mind today as it did then as the single most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard.I still get chills when I think about it.Horns?Who needs them?
