'Salute' is still probably my favorite album of Gord's. He had given up the alcohol that was killing him in '82, so this album presents a 'fresh start' for him!! If you look at his face on the cover, you can see the ravages of alcohol on him.

It's the first one I had him autograph back in 1999.

Obviously no hit songs from it, but I just love the song set as a whole.

'Tatoo' may possibly be my favorite GL song!!
