Because You Asked

Discover the warmth and humor of a Gordon Bok concert and the deep connection he shares with his audiences. Recorded live at various concert venues around Maine in May and June of 2006, the songs included here are (as usual) from all over the place - about work, love, loss, the foibles of man and fish, and the love of the planet that feeds it all. Also included is a brand new "cantefable" (story-song) from Gordon's years of working on the water. These are songs that come from the tradition and songs that will become tradition. Gordon is joined on three tracks by The January Men and Then Some.
