Thanks to Mark for splitting up his recent multi-show set VINE offering and passing this single show on to me. I'll send to the first two who email me off-line...
A great lineup again for this years fest, including some guy named "Brown". Hope some of you can be there and tell us about it.... http://tinyurl.com/6ggdx7 ...
This one will be going off to Ramcey in TN and Rory in VA and one extra for good measure to Justin in OR... just to help keep this one going. Look for their...
Brownians, listening to a collection of Greg's song I made a while back I came across a song I didn't know... I can't understand too many words, but the...

Yes - for your frist question it's "Here in the Going Going Gone," from Greg's 1994 album, The Poet Game. If you buy only one album this year, buy The Poet...

Wow Ian. I know what will be playing on my stereo today. Thanks for this eloquent paean to Poet Game and Greg. Jan ... If you buy only one album this year,...
Jurgen, I transcribed these back when Evening Call first came out. I'm sure there are probably some inaccuracies, but I'll attach it as is, including my...
Well, it's love a song, like a bunch of other of Greg's songs. Is there a particular line or verse you're wondering about, Jurgen? I have a particular...
Thirdly, (maybe Virginia?) - would anyone be willing/interested to try to give me some ideas what "Coneville slough" is all about? Hi Jurgen-- I think it's...
I fall on the 'love-song' side of the equation. Speaking of love songs, there's another "notebook song" that has never been recorded, except for the excellent...

Getting close to ten years ago when I met Catfish Keith. He is a Delta Blues acoustic guitar player that lives in Iowa City. As another performer at The...
I imagine anyone familiar as Greg is with Yeats, would have had to be thinking on some level about Wild Swans at Coole, when he used the wild swan image in...
Wow! Nancy - thanks for sharing that poem... it is lovely. There are definitely a lot of interesting time and place shifts in Coneville. I can't say why but it...
Thanks to Nancy, I have two copies to send out. Please reply offlist with address and promise to reoffer. Joan ... This is the show from which The Live One...

well, dear fellow music lovers, that response was amazing - I doubt I ever had a longer digest in my inbox :-) Just really wanted to say thanks so much - I had...

I don't know that it's necessarily lost love, as in "over for good." I would guess that the two people are probably separated geographically and that their...
Greg has so many songs it can be overwhelming. Today I invite you to join me in focusing energy on an older one, perhaps one of his more obscure ones written...
What I like about the song is the utopian vision. And it's such a simple thing. What is it about human nature that makes such a simple thing seemingly...

... 'twas me. I might have agreed with this statement up until Dream Cafe (1992) when I think Greg began to get the hang of the studio. From Dream Cafe, I...
Beautiful, Nancy. Yeats seems to be afraid of what else will change, what else he may lose that he loves. Interesting juxtiposition with Coneville Slough....
Great report, and sounds like Greg was really on. "Eugene" is on The Evening Call. It's great on the album, and I can only imagine how much better it is in...
