Chris,

I did this for real about a year or so ago.

I made a cassette tape for a friend and I left all the "hits", songs she would know, off the tape.

I put together about 25 songs, basically in chronological order, that I thought she would like. I mixed up the styles somewhat and she was surprised by some of Gord's more blues/jazz sounds. Stuff like, "Make Way for the Lady," "Slide on Over," etc.

I included some of the love songs and ballads and some of his sea stories.

She may not buy any more of his stuff, but I know she listens to the tape.
