yeah, i think lsh didn't realize let it ride was 'live', i've never heard the cd cut it on radio either ...i got choked up hearing Gord's vocal straining during the higher sections on the live version ...kinda like in Only love would Know fashion (or End of All Time), wish i could have heard more of Couchiching cos i'll bet he sounded similar in that chorus cadence, wish they played that on CBC radio (and Insp Lady too!)

SM, AM1430 is what i listen to while doing inner garage and shed work, i must hear GL tunes 5 times a day on there... bitter green, spin spin, rainy day, ribbon darkness, insp lady (a real lot months ago) wwere played over the last few days... it may be a station geared to folks 2x my age but the dj's also to throw in GL-related comments after his songs (they just talked about how much the folks in Peterborough area are still loving Ronnie and Gord's thoughtfulness and how so much $$$ was raised, then they played Ronnie doing Home from the Forest, which is up there with John McDermott's, imo)... the problem is, there's lots of retirement home commercials and you have to listen to Gord sandwiched between Wayne Newton and Perry Como, etc, etc (oh, that sounded gross, lol)

neat link, valerie! i thought it was Dr. Phil at first but i dig Jack way more and really admire such a well rounded person

great pics there also! i'd never seen a pic of Barry Harvey before, i now realize that i've seen him quite a bit and remember getting in his way a few times, he didn't smile, lol ...keep it up Dr. Jack and Val

ps) SM, if you can stomach that CHAM mono twang, you can deal with the 1430 cheese

Gord's gonna have to do a duet with Celine (Bocelli-like) before we hear him on FM
