I am sure I heard songs of Gord's earlier, but the song that really made me sit up,take notice and say to myself "this is startling - I need to hear more of this person's work " was " The Wreck....". It was not a hit in Australia but I heard it in passing on the radio and it floored me.
That song efectively led me 20 odd years later to this site , and to make friends with people from the other side of the world. The music is spectacular. The old stagers here knew and told me I would be impressed with his work that I hadn't yet heard. They were of course spot on.
The friends I have made are pretty cool too.
Crikey I am nearly making myself vomit with all this lovey touchy feely crap :D
