You really nailed it there. Gerry's songs have always transported me away, too. I've always thought it is neat how his songs are pretty straightforward storytelling, but his instrumental melodies and production style are very mystical and whimsical. It's like the perfect combo for totally removing you from your own life's problems for a few minutes while his songs play. It's unfortunate Gerry never found his way/peace... he had so much to offer.
