18 Sep 08 - 11:33 PM (#2444673) Subject: RE: Gordon Bok in Seattle, Portland, USA etc From: Stilly River Sage I have fond memories of a musical evening when I was going to school at Western Washington University, back in the late 1970s. Dad and a friend or two (Jean? Susi? I think) drove up and my roommate and I joined them for a concert Gordon was doing on campus. As I recall Dad wasn't feeling good so his party drove back home instead of meeting Flip (now Breslin, was Auer) over at Fairhaven for some apres-concert music with him. My roommate was so blow away that I had such "connections!" ;-D SRS |

19 Sep 08 - 01:30 AM (#2444710) Subject: RE: Gordon Bok in Seattle, Portland, USA etc From: GUEST,iancarterb I just checked the Victoria Folk Music Society website and it looks as if somebody named TBA is doing the concert on the 5th of October. Get Bok up there! It's a great venue for a large apreciative folk community, the whole south end of Vancouver Island from Sooke to Sidney. Carter |

20 Sep 08 - 01:12 AM (#2445682) Subject: RE: Gordon Bok in Seattle, Portland, USA etc From: mg How about Seattle a week from now? Isn't that closer? Or Bellingham??? next week. You could take the train or bus to Seattle and there are probably people who would put you up for a night or two. mg |

Gordon and Carol (we are in negotiations as to keeping them) did a concert tonight here in Juneau, Alaska and it was lovely. There may even be music tomorrow night- well, it could happen. |

29 Sep 08 - 09:16 AM (#2452767) Subject: RE: Gordon Bok in Seattle, Portland, USA etc From: KT Indeed, it was a lovely concert, by lovely folks. What a repertoire. One after the other of very well written songs! Even sang one of yours, mg! I didn't grow up on the coast of Maine, but some of his songs made me feel as though I had. Like Ebbie said, it would be great to keep them, but we'd have those Mainiacs coming up here after them in no time. Hmmmmm.........not a bad idea...... I don't know though, Eb. Seems to me Gordon's got Maine coursing through his veins.....might be tough work convincing him.... Think we could pass off a dungie for a lobster? KT |

29 Sep 08 - 12:30 PM (#2452951) Subject: RE: Gordon Bok in Seattle, Portland, USA etc From: Barbara In Portland he sang Mary Garvey's song about the Oystermen (women)working during the blackout. The name escapes me at the moment, as mary has two on that topic. Was the Juneau concert well attended KT? Portland was, and I had a chance to meet Carol, but we couldn't come up with a harp for her. Dang. It was a lovely evening, tho I think they may have been a bit jet lagged. Blessings, Barbara |

29 Sep 08 - 10:58 PM (#2453432) Subject: RE: Gordon Bok in Seattle, Portland, USA etc From: jacqui.c It's likely the song was Oystershell Road, which I am learning but still haven't tried outside the house - a great song! |

30 Sep 08 - 01:52 AM (#2453493) Subject: RE: Gordon Bok in Seattle, Portland, USA etc From: Barbara That's it. The other one is called Oysterman, I think. It's about trading your oyster harvesting gear, one item at a time, for a soldier's kit. Just called my brother in Juneau, and he said the concert was "perfect", very well attended, and in the background I could hear Gordon singing "Goodnight Loving Trail". The Monday music party was at his house, and cooking along just fine. "Wish you were here," he said. "Yah, me too." Blessings, Barbara |

30 Sep 08 - 07:48 AM (#2453645) Subject: RE: Gordon Bok in Seattle, Portland, USA etc From: kendall That's the song Gordon recorded for the new Utah Phillips memorial CD. Man, that is some collection! |
