ok - the blue on blue can't be read..

the edited version of the answer: -
John begins with:
"But to keep things really simple"
lol

then John says:

"I can certainly concentrate as you now suggest on the total time of what Gord usually refers to as his 20 so called "original albums"
which in reality whether he likes it or not must be 21 since the 18 unreleased "rarities" on the Songbook Boxset are in my opinion definitely the 21st. Plus a stray from GG.

I have therefore now completed my spreadsheet for just those 21. plus a stray on Gord's Gold 2"the basic total as you will see is 13 hours 39 minutes 21 seconds (or 49161 seconds)" (819 minutes)

John Stinson guessed 11 hrs. 46 minutes. for 20 albums plus 18 rareities is 706 minutes.

That calculation without benefit of EXEL spreadsheet is 113minutes or 1hr.and 53min. shy of Sir John's calculation. John Stinson did not add in the STRAY song that Sir John did.. Not a bad guess!
discuss amongst yourselves..
