I envy every person who had the chance to listen to this man in one of his concerts.

2. At least you can decide

I can't. But if I had to decide, I think I would decide for "Take this Waltz" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQm1OmLMNno

10. Yep! play that one over and over again!

Lorca is an awesome poet!

3. We saw him in Boston last year

The show was fantastic and he's just as great as ever. Even my husband, the music snob, loves him.

4. He gave a concert in Frankfurt, Germany

a couple of years ago. But the tickets were too expensive for me. But I would have loved to see him. You are so lucky!!!

8. There are quite a few I just don't get.....

I can't think of them now.

There are many that I just love: Famous Blue Raincoat, Suzanne, Halleluja (sp?), Field Commander Cohen, The Future, Gypsy Wife, etc. but then there are a lot that I can't even listen to cause they just don't resonate with me at all. I'm definitely more partial to his older stuff. (besides the few mentioned above that are "newer")

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Yeah

I like his older stuff a lot more myself. The "newest" CD I have and like is "I'm your man". And that CD is from 1988.

11. trivia question

There's a line in Chelsea Hotel #2 about "giving me head on the unmade bed." Janis Joplin acknowledged that the line referred to her.
