To sum it up simply. Although I'd known of Gord's top 10 hits since I was 6,I never really or truly became an "avid listner" (I hate the term Fan) until I bought the Songbook CD set. This showed me that just because an artist has only a few hits,that does not mean the rest of their songs aren't as good. I actually used to believe that if an act couldn't get more than a few,then the can't be all that! Anyway,one day short of a year later he came to Phx. and I saw his concert,met him & received 2 autographs! Since then,no male solo singer even compares. That's why I bought every LP he's put out. I used to like Neil Diamond the most but,sorry Neil,you'll have to setttle for #2. Borderstone-outta here and Alberta Bound!
