Anyone know how to access these articles without having to subscribe to the NY Times for the next thousand years? I Googled several links but they all led me back to the Times.

I wonder if DuttonVocalion could release a quad twofer? Or is it Rhino or bust?

I'd like to see Rhino do a Quadio box set with Gord's quad albums, plus the rumored-to-exist quad mix of "Gord's Gold". I'd be first in line for that one!

I get a plethora of musical articles forwarded to me from friends & relatives in/out of music biz.

An article from Toronto Sun discussing Lightfoot with Geddy Lee, Neil Young, Alex Lifeson and others:

Sorry about the chuckle, but I can't even keep track of all the subscriptions I currently have.

If you have a friend with a subscription, he can “gift” a small number of articles monthly.

Sad, sad, sad.

Clemenza, it's not personal, it's business.

Leave the CD; take the blu ray.

Physical copies sleep with the fishes.

Billy Joel covers If You Could Read My Mind as a tribute:

But wait, there's more:

Gord covered Leroy Van Dyke/Buddy Black's (co-writer) The Auctioneer at his live shows going back to the 60's. Sadly, in the many times I caught him live, he never played this one. A studio version was finally released on digitally recorded Dream Street Rose. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

"We just can't stand to have a mediocre man selling things at auction using our good name..."

Here's a video montage set to an audio only live version:

Please!
