The whole you know just this long pattern of my life you know it's always
seems something's always come along and opened up for me and I'm you know I'm
very aware of that I'm pretty grateful but you know I'm getting it coming to
the end of the trail now but it's been pretty amazing it's an amazing pretty
amazing ride you know.
It's good to see you my friend you brought your old
guitar my god you think you could afford a new one it's so big.
Yes it's a
wonderful wonderful instrument.
It is.
I bought it in the store in Nashville.
The hits have been written on that thing.
Yes yes.
Many yes many great songs.
My earliest memory of you Gord is in a
little apartment somewhere in North Toronto we were making instant coffee [G#m] in
the kitchen you were asking me about songs and because you were starting to
write and [B] and I had been writing for a little while but not not very much.
You
were working on a particular one [Fm] then called Red Velvet which is the one that
I've recorded and finally got around to recording.
And a magnificent job I might
add.
It's the best version of that song there is.
No it's great a great version.
[N] What key do you do it in?
D?
I do it low.
It's like you told me to do American
National Anthem.
You said if you do the American National Anthem you warned me one day
you said be sure and start low.
That's right good advice.

Her [D] dusty arms begin [Em] to bloom.
[Dm] All [N] dressed up in her red velvet [E] and her high heeled [F] shoes so fine.
And the night's to come and all is slow to come.
I put too many chords in songs in those days.
No those [F#] are perfect chords.
Are they?
[C#] Yeah.
Well that's good.
[N] I was in Oklahoma and I heard Sundown on the radio and that
that was a big song.
That's to me that's when you really hit your stride.
I was
jealous actually.
You were probably as jealous as him.
I was.
I was.
I wasn't I wasn't.
I'm worried about that.
I used to worry about the other people.
I was doing the horse thing and [E] it's difficult to do [C] both.
[N] I was trying to do both and both kind of suffered.
Eventually the horse thing pulled me through.
Cowboyography.
I mean without horses there'd have been no cowboyography.
