I also love Gordon and his song, A Song For a Winter's Night, but I love this version better. I think it was done back in the late '60s. Notice how subdued and well behaved his audience is compared to today's audience.

Yes, a great rendition.

Also, notice how thin the people in the audience were back in those days.

After watching your selection, I saw he also sang one of my old favorites - Early Morning Rain.

Yes, a great rendition, but I thought the audience was less into the music - more concerned with behaving appropriately - which I didn't find particularly appealing. One chap was moving with the music - what I don't understand (and I've seen this at symphony concerts all the time) is how people can sit absolutely still listening to any music that moves one. Not necessary to jump around but no movement whatsoever? Hmmm - anyone got an explanation?

As MD can confirm, it's impossible for me to sit still during a concert I enjoy.
