    I agree to your thoughts on this song, being up in Northern Minnesota in early November, brings out my enjoyment of this song even more that time of Year.

    I have about all of Gordon's stuff, in fact Gordon takes up a little bit of real estate in the G section. A great artist lots of good songs, I agree with your post.

    He was (is) a Canadian National Treasure, along with Bruce Cockburn. Forget that nasal sounding guy that sang with Crosby, Stills and Nash sometimes ;)

    A very different kind of song about another very real tragedy (and, as you probably know, I am not being facetious. It didn't end well for the driver).
