John Gorka performed 2 wonderful sets at Common Fence Music to a near standing room only crowd. His wit and dry humor were well received by all. Most folks didn't expect much of him as he is from NJ but he out-shined all expectations. Gorka took requests and worked on a couple during the break backstage to be certain of the lyrics and arrangement. He'd added that he'd recently join Peter Yarrow on some sing-a-longs and invited folks to join him on 500 Miles.
Gorka's stories were great and his self deprecating style at times was reminiscent of Tommy Smothers to me. It was very effective. Gorka moved from guitar to piano and later to a G# electric guitar played with tremelo.
Here are a few images of his performance.
