For vocals I think the "Gord's Gold" era was the best. As for songwriting I also feel that he has been strong throughout his career. He seemed to have struggled with it, though, in that it caused him a great deal of isolation. Just as a side note, just read Ian Tyson's "The Long Trail" and I think his writing is a refuge to him - just my humble opinion. Actually meeting Gord, our poet genius last October, although for just a few minutes and getting an autograph, was absolutely awsome. Won't make the Hershey concert but hope to see him at Jim Thorpe in the fall. Kind of got off the track. Blessings to you all!
