"To hell with the Grammys anyway - Bob Marley defined a whole genre of music, and he never won any - at least while he was alive."

"As far as my user name, If Children Had Wings is one of my top five GL favorites. I think it is pure genius, and it comes from a tremendous album, though one that is much maligned. I seem to have been shortened to "wings", and that's fine - the whole name is kinda unwieldy."

Hi ifchildrenhadwings,

I will certainly agree with those statements. And as far as the song "If Children Had Wings", Gord wrote that for his first 2 kids Fred and Ingrid. That was told to me by Ingrid herself on a PM we had some time ago. Just thought you would like to know that if you didn't allready.
