My story. Well, here I am announcing to the world that, yes, I am proudly one of those who has "rediscovered" Gord in this last year or so. And how!!! And I'm so happy about that, and so proud about that! No, unlike others, I haven't listened to him for thirty years uninterrupted - but strangely enough I have for around 25 years, on and off. But I stopped listening too. And I have told my story elsewhere on this site and I won't repeat this now ... It has really been "rediscovery" for me - in such a big way, and such a wonderful and emotional way! And the Internet is so responsible for this. This is so wonderful. You see, I had these old cassettes [this is the UK], that I used to play with my friends years ago, and carried on playing ... but then I was asked by someone recently which songs have had the most influence on me, ever ... and only then did I go on-line to search - and found how much I had been missing over so many (ahem ... twenty!) years! I was appalled about how much I had missed! I'm just catching up now - and I don't care who knows. I've missed so much! But I'm catching up now. And I don't care about anything other than than I've arrived here. At last. Not with Harmony - sorry, but no-one in the UK knows about Harmony apart from die-hards who know already, who were waiting for this. This would not have captured my attention! The thing that captured my attention was one friend who asked the right question at the right time - one person who sent me on a web search that sent me back to the place I had to be.
Yes - I'm a a new/old convert - back to the fold from long ago!! I've missed so much, but willing to learn so much also. "Held for ransome" - from so long ago! And ... well ... I'm back! And it feels so right, so real and so right.
