A very talented performer he is that Tom Rush man. Also he's going to be in Toronto next May at Hugh's Room and hopefully it will coincide with Gord's gigs so we can get to see him. More than likely he'll be at the Massey gigs as well if the timing works out. He worked the Riverboat in Toronto during the era of the big "folk scare of the sixties" as it's referred to by James Taylor. I always loved his version of Joni Mitchell's song "Urge For Going." The first time I requested that song he seemed caught off guard but looked back at his lead guitar player and the nod was given after a momentary pause. The room fell silent, the note sounded, and the crowd melted. It was the most eerie feeling because after the lead guitar intro, the line in the first verse goes "I woke up today and found the frost perched on the ground." Talk about chills going down you spine ay? Anyone who likes Gord would like Tom Rush as well. Stay loose guys. Ron J.
