Description
1996
I first heard Gordon early in the 1970s in a Cambridge, M.A. livingroom, when a good friend’s mother thought I might like to hear a new favorite of hers, Tune for November, Gordon’s first recording for Folk-Legacy. (I did like to!)
Gordon first saw me, ten years later, on the cover of my first Folk-Legacy album, Working on Wings to Fly – he like the rock I was sitting on (and was delighted with the music…)
In 1983, Sandy and Caroline Paton suggested we join music in a concert or two, and the result was so much fun that we continued to do so, on occasion, over the next few years.
Twelve years later, after we’d become Just-About-Neighbors, we remembered these songs we’d loved, our musical common ground, and recorded them here, for you, we hope, to enjoy.
