Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Gordie Sampson”

Chapters
00:00 - Gordie Sampson - Waves


Notes
This beautiful creature emerged from the most remote regions of Canada

I first met him 25 years ago actually, I have always been absolutely ENAMORED with his talent and he has been a dear friend all these years

He has written several number one songs, and just like all my other favorite musicians, he can play any instrument and produce records all day long

Before you comment about how he kind of sounds like John Mayer, Gordie wrote this song is in 1998 and he was doing this shit long before john Mayer was

“Waves” is the first song I ever saw him play…he has never recorded it.
This may be the only known recording of it
