Wish I could remember how it "started" for me. I think I bought a used cassette years ago, probably because I really liked the song Sundown, and liked his music so much I wore it out, had to buy the CD and tape it so I could play it in my car. That tape's about had it too. Then it just escalated from there.
Many of my "musical obsessions" I can trace back to my husband or an old boyfriend introducing me to the music, but this obsession I have with Gord is something I came across on my own, and so it's very powerful, and doesn't come and go with time, it's just always there. I associate nothing but good memories to his music. I feel very possessive of him and his music, kind of like he's my own invisible friend or something. It's hard to explain how personal my feelings are for him/his voice/his music. In fact I was a little leary of attending the concert on Sunday with my husband, but he was very respectful of Gordon and because he knows how much I love Gord, he allowed me my space to experience the music in my own way, and without interruptions.
