Bailey" Very strange song Christmas Bells. Is it ithe right song. It starts out with guitar and then chnges to rock, and its not him., Can you check the file? Adam, I downloaded the Christmas Bells file from my site, and yes, it is John Gorka singing. It has a guitar intro, but certainly doesn't "rock" (it's just him and his guitar). I'm not sure what happened.

Darol Anger/Various "Heritage" Six Degrees/Island [Import] Subtitled "New interpretations of American Roots Music," Anger has gathered together an unbelievable array of American musicians while book-ending his project with the traditional standard "Shenadoah" [isn't it almost akin to an unofficial national anthem ?]. The musicians ?……well, there's the voices of the sainted Siberry, John Gorka, Dar [Williams], Mary Chapin Carpenter, Willie Nelson, Tim O' Brien and Mavis Staples. Now if that ain't a vocal rainbow, I don't know what is. In a support capacity [sittin' n' pickin' and a grinnin'], there's David Lindley, Bela Fleck, John Jennings, Jerry Douglas, Edgar Meyer, David Grisman, Vassar Clements, John Hartford and Michael Manring……the circle is truly unbroken. As for the songs, the already familiar "Are You Tired of Me My Darling" [Mickie Merkens Wood introduced me to this tune nearly a decade ago, as "Answer Only With Your Eyes," and Nanci later included it on Vol. 1 of "Other Voices, Other Rooms"], "Pretty Polly" [McGuinn cut a version for his 1976 "Cardiff Rose"], "Hard Times Come Again No More" [] and "The Water Is Wide" are balanced perfectly by lesser known songs such as "While Roving On A Winter's Night" and "Down In the Willow Garden" and more. This album oozes love out of every single groove……… never, never, never forget your "Heritage." - ----------------- so i guess "while roving on a winter's night" counts! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Nov 1999 17:35:23 EST From: ThePsyche@aol.com Subject: Re: Updated List My first listen to Gorka was on a compilation Cd from Live At Mountain Stage. The song on that CD is Gypsy Life. That song is to this day my favorite live performance song. He does it often. Do others on the list have favorite songs that really come to life in a special way when heard live?
