This is a very good topic charlene, I'll give it a try.
The man- Just a man
Gordon himself would probably say the same thing. He has a gift that he shares with all of us, but he is still just a man. He has made mistakes just like all of us, but he put them in songs.
The lyrics-haunting, beautiful,colorful
His stage performance-commanding, warm, masterfull
His effect on me-he's a calming release
I had to use four words for that one I hope you can excuse me.
His voice-A well tuned instrument
Again I had to use four words, but what the hey. This has been a touchy topic on this board for a while. I don't care what others say I feel Gord has always been in command of his vocals.
His legacy-All his songs
No matter who you are, wether you like his old stuff or new, his music will always be his legacy. Unless you are his best friend or relative your only real connection with the man is through his music. I feel that is what his goal has always been. To touch as many people as possible through songs.
Well I hope that is what your looking for Charlene. I'm sorry I have not been around much lately, but I've just been given my transfer orders. In July I leave New Orleans, and head to Jacksonville FL. After two months there I head to Pennsylvania. Nothing like military stability. So I'll be with you for the next few months then I'll be gone for awhile, but I'll be back.
