Hi Talbot10, interesting story. I have never heard of that before, was it in an interview that you found that out? Thanks for the post.

Hi Brink,

Sorry I should have prambled my statement with "My theory is". I did not mean to say that I knew that positively. I remember believing it to be the case at the time and have ofter wondered if Gord was possibly being considered for the soundtrack of the movie. I do believe he means that song literally. The watchman on those trains in the depression era were scoundrels. Sorry to mislead you as to the authenticity of my "theory"
