I'm 35 and a huge Gord fan. Jbt is my younger brother and also a huge fan. I agree, however, that we are in the minority. Most of my contemporaries are not big fans. They recognize the hits, but that's about it. I think growing up with an Irish immigrant mother playing irish folk tunes 24/7 is one reason we're attracted to Gord's music. There are a lot of similarities between the two. Of course, we have a sister in the middle who could take or leave Gord. So go figure...
