When I was still in my teens I picked up Gord's Gold and it was one of those collections every guitar player seemed to have. It didn't matter if rock and roll was your jam, Gord's Gold transcended genres and was a masterclass in what could be done with the guitar and accompanying vocal. For me this was the penultimate Gordon Lightfoot album (to be fair, it was the only Gordon Lightfoot album I had). When you mention his name it seems like most people are partial to "Sundown" or his magnificent opus "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" but those weren't my favourite songs. I actively disliked "Sundown" as a kid, and to this day I still have a hard time with the song. Which is a shame as it's a great song. Whereas "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" was enthralling the first time I heard it, and just as quickly wore out its outcome, but if it comes on I won't tune it out.

A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about.

I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
