I admire GL for staying true to his roots, and I can understand the respect his fellow Canadians have for his doing so. Still, from a Yankees point of view, I can't help but wonder if Gordon had lived in the US if far more people would be benefitting from and influenced by his music today. Maybe it wouldn't have taken me so long to discover what a gifted artist he is?? However, I must admit if that had happened his sound might have changed, no doubt. So in that respect, I am glad he has chosen to stay in Canada. And if it took me longer to "find" him?? Well, better late than never I guess!
