The following is from the book accompanying the "Songbook" CD, in which Gordon comments on most of the songs he wrote contained in the album:
DON QUIXOTE "It was written for Michael Douglas' first movie "Hail, Hero!" I wrote the title song for the movie, but it was no good, even though he used it. He didn't use "Don Quixote," even though it was a better song. It wasn't a very good demo. I was at the premiere of the movie in Boston, and the producers took us all out to the horse track there. It was the only time I ever went to the races in my life. The movie went down in flames. But the song survived, and it seems that Mr. Douglas has thrived also."
I'm afraid that won't help much, but there it is.
