Subject: RE: Lets talk Tom Rush
I first heard Tom Rush at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival.He appeared in a workshop with John Sebastian and Dave Van Ronk.What a treat!He sang a song about a coyote hunt somewhere out west.One or two coyotes ended up dead.A line of the song invited the hunters to kill coyotes "one for country, one for God."How the audience laughed!He also sang the song about visiting the state of Arkansas.Among many others, I'm sure, Lee Hayes of The Weavers sang that song.
Tom is a treat to hear, and doesn't only sing humorous songs.An excellent entertainer.
