I go back with Gord longer than I want to remember! I have seen him live in concert maybe ten times or so, but the best was a perfect summers night in the summer of maybe 1979 at the Garden State Arts center in New Jersey. It was a cool night, a soft breeze, at least three encores, and Gord was perfect, a super performance. My sister came with me and she started to listen to him and before long she was hooked too! I think the best though was visiting my sister a few years ago and stopping short when I heard my nephew practicing some chords on his guitar... I stopped short and smiled as he struggled through " Sundown". This guy is cool Uncle Paul he said. (meaning Gords music) Yes he is! There are very few artists that can span generations the way Gord has. This young man is a rocker and is only fifteen and 1979 is a long time ago.
