I listen to his music all the time. Always been very popular in our household.


Discovered him via a shipwreck documentary series in 1999 that included the Edmund Fitzgerald and played his song at the end of that episode.

RIP. My favorite of his:



It's impossible to listen to this one without remembering one of my geography professors from undergrad, who was Calgary born and raised, playing it.

Listen to it most every Wednesday as part of Gord's Gold Volume I.

Gords Gold Volume II has some favorites of mine also. "Race Among the Ruins" and "Christian Island", the latter of which is very soothing and has helped get me through some tough spots.

I also have been known to reference "Ghosts of Cape Horn" a lot, specifically the lines "And you read all your letter's from oceans away and you took them to the bottom of the sea". I posted these lines when the TPP dissolved in early 2013, for example.
