On my Mt. Rushmore of Troubadours. What a songwriting genius. So glad I got to see him perform.

This will be the hardest one for me. I’ve sung his songs for over 50 years. RIP. You were the best.

On the subject of lifes soundtracks; Summers of 1986 and 87... me and Sugarcubes wore out a cassette tape of Gord's Gold on many a Southwest Virginia backroad. Carefree Highway, indeed... had no idea what was about to hit us. 16 and 17 turned into 18 and 19.
