Tim asks: > i was curious as to what would be the best place > for me to start? any suggestions Not knowing your age, your marital status or your shoe size...it is hard to really suggest where you might begin...perhaps for you it would be best to start with the ending. I am not sure there is anything I would call the quintessential starter Gorka album. Maybe, Land Of The Bottom Line. If you are single and under 35, try starting with his early stuff. If you are over 35 and, especially if you are married, have kids, have struggled with finding your place in the world and found joy in the simple abundance of family life...try his newer stuff. That's my recommendation anyway, they ALL have that unforgettable voice. they ALL hold remarkable wit and wisdom. Welcome to the group!
