I would hope Gordon's next album (other than Christmas) would break new ground. Bob Dylan came out with a couple "roots" albums (Good As I Been To You & World Gone Wrong) and I didn't even like them...gave'em to my Dad. I know that sometimes touching your roots can re-energize you...as Dylan's last album did win Grammy (Time Out of Mind), which broke new ground for him...a deep rich album with Dylans voice up front. I would like to hear new songs that explore Gord's life in his 60's about his contentments and fustrations, fears and joys.

Signs of a new tommorrow
Signs of a life without sorrow
The better to forget
than to be all that upset
It's the time to taste the wine
