Hi Guys.

Sorry to be away for so long but the weather in Vancouver has been just fantastic and I'm working away like crazy doing outdoor shows and enjoying every moment. After all, is it really possible to ever get tired of playing Gordon Lightfoot songs especially when there is audience out there willing to listen? And the answer is....

Now to answer the infamous Gord chord question:

It's "Em9."

The "Old Dan's Records" song book lays everything out in detail.

So the index finger covers the A string on the second fret and the little finger covers the D string on the fourth fret.

A beautiful chord for a very beautiful song, as only Gord can do it.

Stay loose.

RJ.

Cheers,

RJ.
