JOhn's official site is wonderful and since I go there quite often now, I hadn't visited our in a while. Then, the week after September 11 I went there in search of a certain lyric I needed to send on to a friend. Personally, I was pretty lost after all that horror and had turned to the music, sometimes for solace and inspiration and sometimes to just wallow in my sadness and anger for a while. But the land of the bottom line is only good for so long...I found my spirit again and have been working hard to bring some good music to my community. I am doing a fund raiser for a local not-for-profit I support. I like that I have that to look forward to in the near future. From those feelings came an essay I wrote, inspired by Mr. Gorka of course, and Susan has now posted it at the web site. I am asking you to go check it out and also want you to notice the counter at the site. It is nearing 15,000 hits and I thought how wonderful it would be if we could reach that grand number by October 1. It would be a testament not only to the love many have for John's music, but honor the community that we have shared this past year. So stop by, leave a comment in the forum, let us know how you are, what songs are speaking to you right now. Wishing you all peace. Bryn, the music junkie PS. If you are in the Chicago area and would like to come out to hear Mustards Retreat in Highland Park on October 20, please email me privately and I will send you all the details. Please come!!
