But my dear friends, it would be untimely to lay this thread to rest when it has not yet come fully to fruition.

I recall in a newsgroup post by Richard Harrison, who doesn't post here, but in that post he told that when Gord composed, he wrote down the actual musical score, or "all the notes," or something to that effect. (he might have even mentioned Mozart). It was quite a while ago and I am unable to find it in the newsgroup discussion. Maybe John could help us here with his skill at bringing up "all the notes."

But as I mentioned, the songbook I have has "all those notes" in there that Gord wrote because they are the originals, in his own handwriting and I want to share them here and will pursue that goal as soon as I can find a way to have them scanned.

Stay loose,
RJ.
