Thread Name: Lyr Req: Flight 641 (Lawrence Hammond)
Subject: Lawrence Hammond
So happy to see people here posting about a truly under appreciated musician and story teller.
Having seen him so many times at the old Freight here in Berkeley, I still measure all other songwriters and songs against his songs ... so sensitive, thoughtful, vivid (and yes, clever) and heartfelt.
Lawrence, if you're out there and still like to perform, come out to Berkeley to the new Freight and Salvage in the downtown area and bring back your magic one more time.
And to his daughter, please keep us up to date on Lawrence's new recordings and where to find them.
