Gord's music inspired me to pick up the guitar again after a badly broken arm forced me into a 3-year hiatus from ages 11-14. A self-imposed hiatus of neglect from ages 37-42 was ended more recently again by my desire to play Gord's songs. As a civilized lover of the wilderness, his music is the soundtrack I carry in my head whenever I'm in the backcountry, as vital to my life as the words of John Muir and Gary Snyder.
