This is my first John Gorka concert. I had written to him requesting that he do the song Scraping Dixie, and he did an excellent job of it in the first set. The audience was quite mixed, given that some subscribers by season tickets to concerts at the Jaeb, and have little idea who the singers are. Nevertheless, he quickly won over this mixed crowd. The song he is best known for, I Saw a woman with your Hair, spark recognition among the audience.
Like all singer songwriters he spends a great deal of time talking about the circumstances of many of his songs. I for one, and I think many others in attendance, would wish that singers would talk less and sing more. Given that he's been performing for nearly 30 years, and released many recordings, the number of songs that fans would've liked to have heard were many. In the second half he brought out a small guitar to play blues songs, which he is also excellent at, and is quite a departure from his folk roots.
