I'm 25 now and have always known the song of the Fitz, maybe partly because of watching freighters on Lake Michigan growing up. I bought Gord's Gold 2 on used vinyl about six years ago but didn't listen to much else on it (mainly High and Dry and Endless Wire). That was until one day at the grocery store I worked at when I would change the satellite radio station to the "Jukebox Gold" station (under threat of disciplinary action, but they were always playing terrible music!). I heard a song come on that I hadn't heard in years and years and ran upstairs to check out who did it, and it was Sundown! So before long I had found the album and bought it, and have been hooked since. I saw him last year in Kalamazoo, MI, and was surprised to find out when I told my mom that she had seen him when she was pregnant with me! So I've been to two Gord concerts, that was alright by me! Maybe there's a connection....?
