I first saw Gord in LA at the Troubadour in the late 1960s. I was hooked immediately. Bought every album (the vinyl kind) up to and including Dream Street Rose, as well as a number of song books (my sister gave me DQ for my birthday in 1972). Then I moved, sold my guitar, and somehow my music life went into hibernation. Then about a year ago I bought a mandolin (inspired by Sierra Hull) and it was in looking for music to play on it that I discovered the music books. Then of course I had to goodle him and discovered he was playing here (Portland) the next month (last August). Oh my gosh, was that a life-changing experience; now I'm a born-again Lighthead, listen to him all day at work, trying to make up for 27 years lost. I didn't even know he had been so ill; am so thankful he's still with us!
It's so great to know that all of you out there love him as much as I do...
