it seems Gordon put much thinking into this album. such a different set of tunes which all are top notch. when I listen to this tune I think of 1978/79 all over again. It helped me chase my dreams and such and meet my goals at that time
Thank you for posting this. I love it & have been looking for it here for awhile. My Dad was a big GL fan & he used to sing us kids to sleep with Daylight Katy & Knotty Pine among others. Always feels good to hear Gordon. Miss you Dad.....
MC Pitman rips the beginning of this track and with a heavy beat, sounds incredible. 'Great Day' MC Pitman. I can't find it on Youtube, but it's on Itunes.
Wishing to find "bells of the evening" and "fine as fine could be". Gord is the the best. Notice that not many people cover his songs? They can't, he's the one and only.
@aneil68 Gordons great. live in montana but all our am stations were out of regina or moose jaw and i love all gordons songs seen him at the center of the arts in regina if your scalp dont tingle when you hear the edmund then oh well i guess you just dont get it
This brings back memories of my first job, at the age of 16 years. I had to start work at 07-30, after a two mile walk to the foundry. If I remember correctly Radio One (Which I liked in those days) only started at 08-00 so I had to listen to Radio Two.
This song came on, most mornings, and I used to sing along as I had a hurried breakfast. Great memories...
Haven't heard this for over 30 years! Better than I thought! Listening again just proves the music of today sucks! Bands and artists are blown out of proportion and have no stuffing! Thanks for posting! Enjoyed it to the full!
A great song from the most underrated singer/songwriter in the history of contemporary music - incredibly,I have heard him referred to in derisory terms on more than one occasion by morons who probably think Michael Buble is talented. Maybe he suffers from having an ordinary-sounding name? But when you can write songs as good as this why bother changing your name to Beowulf Buffalobollox just to grab a few extra sales.
thanks so much ....this songs triggers so many memories of being a daydreaming teenager in the 70's..... classic song should be played on airwaves more often...
@scampben Gordon is not a hit singles artist. While I do like the songs that became hits, there are so many tracks on his recordings that I like even more, like this one!
Loved this back then as a kid,love it now.Beautiful,timeless classic!

This was released in 1978.
But I cannot forget listening to this song when I was 4 years old in 1980. This song played on the radio many times. Great childhood memories.
