much respect to you for being one of Canada's finest minds in music. To this day, after dozens of re-visits, I must say that 'Gordon' is without a doubt one of the finest works in music and definitely the best our country has produced. All the best in your future endeavors,
Please check out our new "vampire bankers" music video. A friend who directed Madonna's first music vid directed this, too. We think it's pretty funny. Hope you like it. Thanks for being our friend! Uke Jackson and the NY Ukulele Ensemble
