Of course, he wouldn't tell me what it is. He just said I should
figure it out for myself. Anyone know what the 'hidden' meaning is?
I've listened and read the lyrics and I guess I'm just not
philosophical enough to figure it out. thanks

very light action (for those of us with tender fingertips!). Surprisingly
small & light guitar. Very exciting!!! Now I do have to begin to think
about selling
the second one that's still on order. If anyone was unable to order one,
drop me an e-mail!

Dang. First Toronto, now this. Congratulations Blair. I was unable to
order
one, but I'm still married, so nothing has changed. Thanks anyway :^)

The hidden meaning may be that your friend is trying to drive you nuts.
As an alternative, please consider the anomaly of a season which is supposed
to bring
joy but actually has no meaning or relief for the truly misfortunate.

Actually, Deb, what does the song mean to YOU? Awhile ago we had a
discussion about Christmas songs, and a lot of people didn't realize
that Christmas was even mentioned in the song (Christmas dawns and the
snow lets up...)
I guess I always thought of 'the wheel' mentioned in the song as a
sort of wheel of fortune (no, not the kind where you buy a vowel)
where you place your bets...try to guess your fate....

it. I didn't look at it (nor many other GL songs) in a literal sense. I
looked at it for the overall feeling the song gave, again exactly as Richard
wrote.
This reminds me of a discussion I was having with some fellow artists about
how rarely do art lovers analyze each square inch of a painting, nor worry
much about which brushes or canvas material the painter chooses. Instead
they focus on the emotion, the "meta-message" the artist is trying to
convey...

some sort of low level of appreciation or curiosity. When I listen to Gord, I
just sort of sit there like a bump and take it all in, sighing now and then and
loving what I hear. Very seldom do I wonder what he means by what he writes.
I don't mean there is a thing wrong with wondering. I just wondered why I
didn't wonder! :-)

"The Wheel" often refers to "The Wheel of Life." Or in eastern religious nomenclature, The Great Mandala (or
Mandella or whatever). Peter Paul and Mary had a song by that title.
And then there's the obvious gambling reference to "... place your bets on the great big wheel." Life is a
gamble. And the poor unfortunates he describes in the song certainly seem to be victims of the house odds.
I like it as the antithesis of a Christmas song. Much like Jackson Browne's "The Rebel Jesus" it points out
the contradictions inherent in the season. Beyond that I find it interesting to examine some of the word
choices but I don't think there's any mysterious story hiding in there.

Another reference to the holiday

"Rockin' in the Free World" by Neil Young. It partially fits. I think
it's because they both refer to kids born into substance abuse and
poverty.

To be honest, I'm not much for analyzing either. I just feel his music in my
soul. Yes, sometimes things mean something to me, or I will get a feel for
something, but mostly I just enjoy it. I feel it and it fits my mood or it
doesn't - each song has a feel to it, an emotion - in my mind. So, I guess I'm
not one of the most inquisitive either. I don't need to know details.

Blair, I am very interested in your second D-18 GL. Please email me at
jocih...@aol.com . I have been trying to find one for about a year
now and this is the first good lead that I have found. Or you can call
me at my home/business 1-800-448-6762. Thank you, John Hooton.

was in toronto i stood at the corner of wellington and bay and looked up. i
was prompted to invoke the opening lyrics of this song for my companion's
benefit. state and wacker in chicago does the same thing for me.
