Really sorry to hear that. “If you could read my mind” is one of my favorite performance pieces.

Go with your gods Gordon. Your music made the world just a bit better every time I heard it. Thanks.

A day rarely goes by that I dont hear Sundown in my kitchen, as per tradition any time an artist passes we dedicate the day to their hits, today is Gordon day

I was very sad to hear this. I was lucky enough to see him live around 10 or 12 years ago at meadowbrook music theater in Rochester Michigan.
