Hey all. I was just listening to the recording of Gord and Ron tackling Take Me in Your Hand as a duet. Does anyone know where this came from, or the date it was recorded? I know that it's been floating around on Kazaa for awhile, but otherwise I'm clueless. I searched on Hipbase and found nothing.... Any guesses?

That's a real hidden gem... thanks for bringing that up... on my way to find it.

That version of "Every Irrelevance" is quite interesting also. It is mostly the song heard on CMG with a couple of changes.
Only the lyrics are the same...the music is 100% different! And it's hard to tell which I like more...some days, the wailing guitar really gets me in the live version, but that foot-shuffling mumbling on CMG is wonderfully introspective at times too.
If anybody would like a copy of the above song or a copy of Gord and the Rheos doing To Cry about, send me a PM
So is this really with Ron Sexsmith, or the Rheos?
I used to have mp3's of those songs with the Rheos, and I don't remember any mention of Ron Sexsmith. I haven't had a copy of those in a while though, so now I'm confused.

THAT is a beautiful song too... love the way Gord says "...and everybody knows who she is... right Dave?" I highly recommend grabbing that if you don't already have it.

I'll send 'em along with the Erie show.
Umm, EDIT: I cannot read. Bah.

I think there is a little variation in lyrics too. He says "no reliance on science.." and "so just say it, don't spray it...." which varies a little from the CMG version. I like the guitar in the Rheo's version too.
I was glad he changed the "say it, don't spray it" to "say it, just convey it"...even though I'd never say I didn't like some small part of his lyrics, I always thought "don't spray it" was kind of a stupid colloquialism to use in a song that good.
