Thread Name: Lorre Wyatt - know his whereabouts?
Subject: RE: Lorre Wyatt - know his whereabouts?
Yes, Lorre does still live in Greenfield, MA. On his Folk Legacy album Roots and Branches, which was recorded before he'd finished writing the song, there is an interesting and quite lovely version sung and played with Gordon Bok. However lyrics are only the chorus of the song with improvisations. (However the album has other well-known Lorre songs such as Let It Be Your Lullaby. When Pete recorded Somos El Barco he unfortunately left out one of the best verses by mistake. I will find out from Lorre if there is an accessible recorded version of the full song by him. I would advise getting it as his version is better than Pete's.

He is by the way an absolutely amazing songwriter and singer who had a stroke that disabled him somewhat and cut short his singing career and self confidence. He still continues to turn out unbelievable songs that go right to the heart, but never gets them out there. I'll get back to you on it.
