While Pony Man does remind me of my childhood,(I was 2 & 1/2 when that came out),any of Gord's albums from 1970 to 1976 always takes me back to my earliest days in my hometown in Pennsylvania. The music,like those times,is simple and easy and fairly uncompicated,just like being a little kid was. When Gord sings about the forests or the country,the mountains,the great lakes or even just the rain,it evokes pictures in my mind from those years that semm like mere months ago. After my family headed west in Jan. of 1977,life just wasn't like it was before. We lived in San Diego and 3 years later moved to Phoenix. Now that I've caught up on all of GL's works,I see that his music after Summertime Dream was also no longer simple folk-rock-country fair. Just lie my family went to a new place,he went to a new musical direction. It's been me,later!
