They don't have to be kids, I am sure some of you read the account of me being stopped by a Ct. State Police man when I was coming back from the Torrington concert last year. He asked where I was coming from and I told him. He didn't know who Gordon was and he was in his late 20's or older. So not just kids.
I heard Ian & Sylvia sing Early Mornin Rain back in the early 60's folk music era, and noticed who the writer was, heard him sing it on the radio also, and bought his LP. From then on, I always paid attention to his music and would buy his LPs. I never did see any bootlegs in my travels though. I burned all the LPs to cd's about 8 years ago, and sold them off, all except the signed LPs. Now, I even have all the songs I like on flash/thumb drives which I use in my car/trucks. Yep, the Man is a musical genius, I will always be in awe of his all around talent.
