Hi Elizabeth,
Years ago I met a fellow 'Lighthead' on-line and I sent him a VHS copy of the late Peter Gzowski's interview with Gordon. We deveolped a friendship and traded some music of our other favorite artists. About five years ago I found myself in California and had the pleasure of meeting him and sharing a delightful evening speaking of Gord and music in general.
To make a long story short (which is difficult for me, as I like making short stories long!) He gave me a copy of 'American Sketches' amongst other American talents while I turned him on to Aengus Finnan, Stan Rogers and the like.
My friend was a rabid John Stewart fan and it was he who went to see John Stewart at McCabes. John was in the midst of a difficult time as his wife was ill at the time and undergoing extensive treatments in hospital. It was my friend who was thoughtful enough to get John Stewart to sign hs self releaced CD for me.
Sadly, we have lost touch and I don't recognize him as a member of our Corfid family. I pray that all is well with him and his family.
My music library is in dissaray after my own hospital stay as I had some CDs brought to me at the hospital. Many others have been misfiled throughout the house so I cannot relocate either album at this time. Looking forward to re-exploring John Stewarts artistry ASAP.
Yuri
