I have to say this: Johnny Cash did some of his best work when his voice was fading, at the apparent twilight of his career. Mind you, he had that hot shot producer to find material for him; but I wonder sometimes what might happen if Gord did something like Cash did. Just a thought...

As for the present, Gord's music endures. A co-worker of mine who is 20-plus years younger than me has some of Gord's music from the '60's. To see him in concert now is to see history, I think. The thin voice really doesn't matter to me.

Time marches on and none of us are immune to its effects.
