That is pretty neat. I know it's gone around before, but here's an article on Jim Gordon and his tragic story. http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~splat/J...e_article.html

I often frequent the thrift stores, and once in a great while if the mood hits me, sift through some of the records. Every now and then I find a cover of a GL song that I didn't have before, and I pick it up. About a year ago, I got an interesting cover of Kenny Rankin doing Mountains and Mary Ann that I never knew existed. This week I picked up a Claudine Longet lp. still sealed, with her cover of Pussywillows, Cat-tails on it. Jim Gordon is the drummer on this, and the strings and horns were done by Nick DeCaro.

Someday, after a few glasses of wine, I might play this. Maybe.
