When Char spoke with Gordon backstage on Sept. 21, he said that the Live CD is not ready for release.

I would imagine he needs to put some of the biggest hits on the CD to influence the fringe fan who may buy it. (Fitzgerald, Sundown, If You Could Read My Mind).

Hoping the CD would be 16-18 songs like Gord's Gold Volume 2.

Ideally, the CD would be from Massey throughout the years and may have a couple rarity or even unreleased songs. Gord should put something like Fine as Fine Can Be, If Children Had Wings, That Same Old Obsession on it.

Songs like "Bend in the Water," "Now and Then," "Last Time I Saw Her," "Whispers of the North," "Broken Dreams," were outstanding when I heard them during the 1980's. I thought I read where Massey concerts have been recorded for many years. Don't know if the recordings go back that far.

Songs that I like better live than on the record include:

House You Live In
In My Fashion
Race Among the Ruins
I'll Tag Along
Waiting For You
Ode to Big Blue

No matter what he puts out... someone will disagree with one or two of the selections. Let's just hope he releases it.
