My moment comes from what I have declared my favorite song by default, Carefree Highway. The second line of the first verse, "I wonder how the old folks are tonight." This line is why I started listening to Gord in the first place. I love the feeling it gives me and the picture it forms in my mind. And part of what makes it special for me is how Gord's voice drops a little for that last word, "tonight." (I know he's just hitting the note that was written for that word, but it just sounds great, (this is me showing my knowledge of music)). His particular tone of voice on the original recording is, to me, just perfect.
