In fact, he is so country, that the radio station in Moosenee is the only one in Ontario to give his first CD airtime. However, stations in western and eastern Canada are playing his tunes. And he's winning fans in Europe. Russ Gordon isn't your ordinary run-of-the-mill country and western music performer. Nope. He's home grown. As a kid, he grew up in this area. His home was So- lina and that is where he learned to love music. However, Russ Gordon didn't get into music until he was about 18 or 19 years old. "I was always interested but never did anything about it," he recalls. But, things changed when he decided that he would "like to get to the point where I could play in a band." About two-and-one-half years ago, while cutting a demo tape with the band he used to be with, The Silver Eagle Band, the owner of Ambassador Records told him to think about striking out on his own. "I decided to get at it while I was still young enough to do so," said Russ. Paul Evans, owner of Ambassador Ambassador Records and Russ Gordon produced the songs on his first journey into airplay. airplay. For now, Russ is trying to promote the CD in the local area because it is already doing well in Britain, Holland Holland and Belgium. "I'm also getting a real good response from western and eastern Canada," he said. For Russ, this has come as a surprise since he was told it would be hard to break into the market out west. In fact, what has happened happened is the reverse of what he expected. "wfIrENcT Purchase ?! / I DASHWOOD DISCOVERY REPLACEMENT WINDOWS and never paint again!
