    Hi again Tom. I met you once at your event in the Rialto Theatre in Loveland Colorado many years ago. I want you to know that I am 68 years young, and I love music, especially guitar, and YOU are my favorite guitar-playing, singing, songwriter artist! You touch my soul every time I listen to you. God Bless You. You have left a legacy. Cindy Neal from Loveland, Colorado

    I fell in love with this man's music at age 18 (I am 75 now). He has inspired me as a musician and songwriter since the days- so happy to see him still doing what he does best.

    This performance reveals an unprecedented level of emotion. It's all there. Those two worlds of joy and sorrow joined together in one package. A most gifted artist is Tom Rush.

    I had one of those Japanese transistor radios , it was small and in a fake leather case. I would lay in my bunk at the old run down house. I was about 14 years old. I did well in school. Didn't need much sleep. Then one night Tom Rush came on. I was hooked. The station was AM out of Boston Mass. WGBH ! I live way down on the east coast and was a very good surfer. After that brief time of my life. The crap hit the fence. I kinna grew up..Went into the Army and had a grand time [NOT]. Came home went to college. I was not as smart then LOL. But through all those years and now ..older [old]. I play the guitar or rather make it scare my cat, and still love to hear TOM RUSH. I do not regret a moment of both the pain and pleasure of all of the years. Thank You TOM ..!

    Before there was James Taylor, there was Tom Rush, essential singer/songwriter and interpreter of James, Joni, Jackson, etc. Rockport Sunday was the first open tuning songs I learned. So many great tunes. No Regrets is a beautiful song and tribute to the wonderful women in my life, the ones who left, and the one who stayed. Thanks for sharing this.

      Same here, “Rockport Sunday” was my first open tuning discovery, learned at Air Force basic training in San Antonio more than 50 years ago.

    One of my Guitar Mentors from the old Le Hibou days & Saturday afternoon Master Class Workshops ... his were always tops in my mind ...taught us what you don't play is often as
    important as what you do play ! (We both played Jumbo Texan Epiphones ) circa 1965

    Actually the close cropping is due to activity in front of the stage at Kerrville with official photographers often blocking the image.

      As noted above, foot traffic in front of the stage made it necessary to close-crop.

      Too much movement in front of the stage that blocked the guitar and was distracting. You’re lucky to see what you see.
