Glad to hear the Another Land Made of Water was done live. I hope you folks release this, believe it or not this gets played on average twice a week. I never get tired of this wonderful work. Thank you.

Thanks , Marilyn. The Wind in a Million Leaves was written by John Warner of Sydney, AU. He also recorded it.
I probably should now make an announcement in concerts that I don't appreciate being videoed and posted on Youtube or any place else. It violates the rights of the songwriter and I believe it is an insult to those who went to the trouble and expense to come to a concert. Just one more way technology complicates our lives, eh?

Also, I wonder if folks (like yourself) who just have a question know that they can just email me or Kathy at info@gordonbok.com . It's quicker and easier than going through this exchange. Go well,
Gordon

There's a video of you on Youtube singing "The Wind in a Million Leaves." I really like that song, and I don't think you've recorded it. Will you? Has someone else? Who wrote it? (Sorry for all the questions.) I love your music, and I'm enjoying the notes from New Zealand and Australia too.

Hello Gordon Bok,

Many years ago I had all your records (still do, but no player) and one song I really loved was "Hang On John" (I think that's the title. My records are in storage and I can't check.) I haven't seen that song on any of your CDs, of which I have most. Any chance of putting more of your old songs on CD? Your music is the absolute best, and I cry so often when I listen to you (and the trio) either from a memory the songs bring up or just the beauty of your songs and voice. Thanks for adding so much enjoyment to my life.

Good to hear from you, Randy; I do remember that. I hope you're still singing.

Clear Away in the Morning is such a beautiful song. I discovered your music while out on Isle au Haut many years ago. I believe it was WERU playing your music.

Hello Gordon, this is singer Randy Burns. I once played with you in the late 60s at the Enormous Room at Yale, New Haven. Always loved your music and I'm pleased to see your web site.
Best wishes,
Randy Burns

Sue and I are sitting here in East Tennessee listening to your music and missing home very much. We've been here for about 10 years but our hearts still belong to Maine. For some reason, "This old Mandolin" really hit us and sent us back to the Camden Harbor Inn in the late 80's where we met you briefly while listening to Bob Stewart work his magic. So much time has passed since my days at UM-Orono in the early 70's; that was my first introduction to your music....enjoyed it then and enjoy it still. Keep it up Mr. Bok, your music is good for the soul.

I have just re-introduced myself to you after a spell of 10 years or more. Your music has struck a chord in my spirit. At this time in my life it is a welcomed, moving segment of what seems to be a "coming together" of pieces that nuture the soul. It is a full circle journey, I suspect,and I'd like to take you along if you don't mind. Thanks for making this world a more peaceful place. I look forward to meeting you some day.

I'd like to see a photo of that, Jim, if you've got one. I built a garvey myself years ago because I lived on a drain-out cove. They're quite a boat.

Hey Uncle Gordon:-)

We missed you at christmas.
I took my girlfriend to this site, it is the first time i have been here as well, cool site.

Hellow Gordon Bok;
You Don't Know me ,but my name is Jim Plant and I play guitar.
I just got done with a 3 year restoration on a 22 ft barnigat bay claming garvey and will put it back to work in march.

I found you on the new music service called Pandora. You are played frequently on Garnet Rogers station. I've got to order at least a couple of your albums. Old Fat Boat is my favorite. You are one of the reasons I'm relocating from Colorado to the Atlantic Northeast.

Thanks, Dave. I thought that was a wonderful festival, and was sorry I could only be there that one time. The company was grand.

Gordon. I have fond memories of your performance at our "Songs of Sail" festival in Penetanguishene Ontario some years ago. I was a volunteer at this event, driving performers back and forth from their digs at Jim MacMillan's place and the festival site. Unfortunately, Songs of Sail no longer exists but I shall always cherish the memory of yourself and Margaret McArthur, John Allen Cameron and Louis Killen. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Dave Ward.

Tom, years back I made a tune called Weehawken Ramble, but it had no words, and it was of such a twisty disposition that I doubt anyone would have tried to put words to it. Have you tried the Mudcat Cafe website?
Good luck.

I've been a great fan of Gordon's music for many years.
There's a Great White Whale of an obscure
song I've been looking for for some time now. About 25 years ago on the radio in Chicago I heard a singer-songwriter sing a song about that "Weehawken Moon" across the river from Manhatten. I didn't get his name and I never heard the song again. Rich Warren, host of "The Midnight Special" on WFMT in Chicago thinks that Gordon did a song with "Weehawken" in the title around that time. Can you give me any information on this?
Thanks.

Gordon, we are a small A cappella group in Middlebury Vermont currently rehearsing Hearth and Fire in a three part arrangement. I have must have sung other songs of yours over the years because your name is familiar. I just wanted to say how fantastic this one is I happen to be on the Bass part and am very moved while singing it. I'd love to buy it recorded is it available on any cd's in three parts? Thanks and I'll look you up if I make it to Camden

Dear Gordon,
I hope that you, or someone you know; can help me to track down some music. I am trying to find a cassette recording or CD of a piece written by Robert Burnes and performed by Jean Redpath.The piece is called The Dusty Miller. All the internet leads have come to no fruition, even her own site leaves me without a contact. Got any suggestions?
Have a good Thanksgiving. Sincerely,TWR

Todd, that was written by Dave Goulder. He is in Rosehall, by Lairg, Scotland. I never recorded that song, by the way, though I have sung it in concert. Maybe you can convince Dave to record it....
