Tom Rush

Steve called today. Tom Rush will be in concert at Cheney Hall in Manchester (CT) on Saturday, February 12th and would I be interested? Hmmmm, he's still alive? Steve and I have seen a few together in our day - Bonnie Raitt at Toad's in her "Green Light" period and, in one of the strangest concerts ever, paired with Broadway legend father, John, at Oakdale; Jesse Colin Young at Toad's, Jonathan Edwards at Shaboo and Lake Compounce Ballroom come to mind) - but not for awhile.

So, Tom Rush! Boston-based, as I remember. Well respected folkie. Pretty good, but I never had one of his albums, never saw him in concert, unless he was part of a folk show at the Thomaston Opera House in the late 1970's. Can't remember. A quick look online shows he's touring to support his new CD "Trolling for Owls", a live recording. Got to listen to some of his stuff.
