so my estimate is same as yours, JohnS ...ie. about 52,000
if duplicates were elimated i wonder what would remain, maybe 20,000?
no, i don't have a lyric database like geosteve does or Sir John may
and i get a chuckle, i do not have an ipod...and when i got a replacement cellphone the other day they sales guy was all over me about downloading songs and other toys but i said, i just want a good signal and battery that will hold a charge...i dont listen to music on little headphones!!!! lol
i have a mac G5 which is my edit suite using Final Cut Pro and Sonicfire Pro, and also has free toys like garage band, idvd and iTUNES....i hardly use that stuff at all but have lately enjoyed the abilities of iTunes (again, NO ipod, lol)...alot of my music listening is done on a little transister radio, that's how progressive i am
ok, we give JohnF til end of day for his result...in the meantime i am not spoiling any thunder with this revelation:
on Gord's 20 album releases there are 217 recordings....i have always included the extra 18 songs from Songbook so the total is 235
you could discount that if you wanted by eliminating On Susans's Floor, Changes, Red Velvet, Used to Be a Country Singer, etc which are not Gord penned songs...you want to call it 230 or so?
John has said the # is more like 270 or so but he rightly includes all sorts of 'extras' from his huge collection of never heard (or shared, lol...just a joke
) before stuff...actually i did hear 1968 CBC thx to our man
ok, JohnS...how many text characters are in the Gord song catalogue? lol
