Hi all,

First, it's "Orvy" Swanson (abbreviated from Orville.

And... yep I am Dave Gordon's widow (remarried so last name is different now). I am working to get the chords down for ALL the songs on the work from which this song was taken - the work is called Black and White Rainbows. All the music is out of print now - there were several other recordings released, some of which are available on EBay:

- Natural Causes
- Corduroy Road
- Falling Rock
- Alive at Last (double album set)
- Room to Grow (children's album)
- Black and White Rainbows (released posthumously on cassette)

As you can see this is a lot of material to manage and sadly, publishing and distribution rights were sold off after the Vetco recording studio/Jimmie Skinner Music publishing company owner passed away a few years ago.

My goal is to develop a music publishing company and reissue the Room to Grow and Black and White Rainbows recordings (I have the rights to RTG, B&WR are held by another company that has said will provide me the rights once ready to accept under my company name).

Whew! Music industry is kind of wild.

The new rights owner of the other albums is slowly working through the catalogue and I am in touch with him.

If interested in other information about Dave Gordon or our work together over the years, please feel free to email me at ginakaylandis at gmail.

I so appreciate your interest and furthering of the music. It has taken me so long to get to this step because Dave died in 1986, I had to go to work for several years after, then remarried and my late (second) husband also became very ill for many years, and he died in 2018. Bear with me and I hope I will get the works I have the rights to on the airwaves, or on the market, or somehow to those who want them, within the 2020/2021 scenario.

Kind regards,

Kay Gordon
