Brian, some months ago Matthew Bullis posted some songs from an album recorded at "La Cave". On it Gordon makes several mistakes.
In "Early Morning Rain" having sung the "Hear the mighty engines roar..." verse, he started the "This old airport....." verse by singing "Hear......... This old airport..." a pretty neat slide into the right words.
Then in "Echoes Of Heros" he sang "Must this be the 'time' we are travelling yet" He should have sang 'road'. You can from his voice he realised he had got it wrong.
But the Granddaddy of mistakes came in "Ribbon of Darkness" he introduced the song with a reference to Marty Robbins, starts the song, "Ribbon of darkness over me, where once the world was young as spring..." he stops singing, carries on strumming for about 15 seconds, then stops. He then says "God I'm sorry, I don't know whats wrong with me, but I just goofed that one up too. Because I forgot the words again, which is not good, I'm sorry."
But having said that it is great listening to the album, good songs, great voice and neat strumming.
By the way Matthew had to take the songs off, a matter of space, I believe.
