well, i could certainly atttest to this as well. i've been a HUGE john gorka fan forever. when i got my first very own guitar at the ripe old age of 16, the guy at the local music store gave me two tickets to see gorka live at a small club in salt lake. my mom and i went, and we were just blown away. it let me into the whole world of contemporary folk, christine lavin, patty larkin, david wilcox, and so on. it was an invaluable experience, and i will always love john gorka. its funny, because i was unpacking a box of old photo albums last night, and came across a picture of me grinning cheesily with john and christine lavin after a show at the bottom line in nyc, like 11 eleven years ago when i moved out there the first time. its a great picture, with christine lavin making this goofy face. on another note, i saw john gorka on the world trade center plaza, just a couple of weeks before the shit went down. lucy kaplansky opened up, and came out and sang with him later in the show. i was amazed at how a man can still move me to tears and laughter, just as you said kate, after having seen him a million times and knowing every song by heart. his live performances are just...incredible. and this was a very special one, a special memory. alison e. in slc.
