Patti,
Yeah, I can
smell the harness leather in those saddlebag's as Gord sings it; I know what you mean.... " reaching for his saddlebag, he takes a battered book into his hand, and standing like a prophet bold he shouts across the ocean to the shore, 'til he can shout no more.."
Patti when you say you liked seeing him sing about reaching into his saddlebags, did you see him sing DQ in concert, and were reminiscing of that, or was it a simple typo and you were gonna say "hearing him"

,
no matter, only curious.
PeterBro : BTW - what is that floating in the river ?; looks too flat for the roof of a house... partly my eyes, but I can't quite tell.
