Old Man Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Was at a concert of his in Brandon Manitoba many years ago on the day of his birthday. The crowd sang happy birthday to him at the end of the concert. His response was to treat us to several encores which was enjoyed and appreciated by the crowd. Definitely one of Canada's greatest talents. Happy Birthday Gord. Edited November 17, 2011 by Old Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Beautiful song of spring. How does someone pick a favourite from all that he wrote or performed. Another one of those great musicians that played Massey Hall year after year. Edited November 18, 2011 by bigugli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattletrap2 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 One of my favorite songs by Gord. Always makes me misty Love the song too, Paul. I know Mr. Lightfoot penned it, but I actually like the version by Valdy even more! I can't find a You tube version that was studio recorded, only a more recent "live" version that is not as good.
