Tom, thank you so much for serenading the good people of Maynard yesterday! I've been a fan since 1968, and it was a blessing to finally see you in person. God bless you!!

Once again to Fran Ferry - I checked again and found that the song you were referring to is actually called "Wild Child" & is on the Columbia "Tom Rush" album.

I've been a fan of yours since 1966 or so, when sitting in a car in back of a drug store in downtown Framingham Ma.waiting for my father I turned on the radio and heard "Urge For Going" for the first time, I was hooked and went out the next day and bought the album, My wife and I have seen you many times in the Boston area, we now live in S.W.Florida, we would love to see you in concert here, if you ever get the chance. thanks for a lifetime of music and memories, your song "No Regrets" still brings a tear to my wifes and my eyes every time we play it. Best wishes

I heard you on PHC Sunday afternoon; you sang that lovely song that you wrote about leaving. I'm presently making my home of 23 years here in the foot Hills of western Maine ready for sale. As I'm touching practically every surface of my house with sandpaper or a paintbrush or a soapsoaked cloth, familiar thoughts flood my mind. I know it's an old song, I remember it well from when I lived in Connecticut years ago. But to hear it again, at the very threashold of another time of change for me, and sung so exquisitely by you, well it had me in tears by the end of it. Thanks so much for crafting a song that can touch as deeply as that. Make no mistake about the fact that your music is alive and well in 'vintage' listeners like me and such sentiments will never go stale as the years go. Bless you and thanks.

I believe the song you are referring to is "Livin' In The Country" not "Country Girl"

I saw you at Eagle Hill,and it was a great concert. I too, used to go to the Club 47 to hear you in the 60's. I think the first album I have of yours is the Ly Cornu album. I believe it's your first, and came out before Got a Mind To Ramble.
Here's my big question. My wife says that she remembers you singing Country Girl on an album. I believe I have all your albums,but am unfamiliar with the song. She even knows some of the lyrics. If you recorded it, where can I find it?
Welcome back to New Hampshire. I lived in Peterborough in the 60's as well, and sang your songs all through high school. Thank you for all your music. Your songs always made my heart happy.
Fran Ferry
Belchertown, MA - May 4, 2010
I just downloaded your Western album and especially love your fun Wyoming pieces. Interesting to note, you know so much about Wyoming and our beautiful Jackson Hole. When looking at your schedule, you seem to circuit mostly in the East. Do you ever perform here in secluded Wyoming? We get missed here in the North West by everyone. Would love to take in a concert but can't drive to New York. LOL. Thanks for keeping us laughing.

Hello Tom,
My daughter Emmy had her picture taken with you 1,2,3 times at the Me&Thee. I have that photo plus one she took from the outside looking in of all your open guitar cases in the back room. Great shot. She also is showing off her purple sweatshirt that now is sporting your signature.
We had the best time at the concert. We laughed a lot and cried a little. During the Child's song, our 15 year old daughter Emmy, held our hands. Its not easy being a teenager and that was just a beautiful moment we shared at your concert.
Oh, my favorite thing to say now is, "Whom do you love?"
Thanks for such a special evening. If it possible to share those pix with you, do tell.
Take very good care,
Rita March

March 18, 2010 Thanks for your note. The key is to get someone there to hire me – I’ll be there like a shot! - Tom
I've absolutely loved No Regrets for so many years now, and extremely pleased to have eventually picked up on you again. I now have some of your newer stuff, and love the videos on YouTube. What about coming to the UK, we've some great venues here in the North East of England, you'd love it here.
Mike Orchard

We enjoyed your appearance in Utica, NY last fall. You did "ol Blevins" and refered to The Austin Lounge Lizards. We are in Texas and got to see them. They are a hoot, but you're better. Thanks again for making "Trolling" It helps understand regional differences - no Hav-A -Hart for buffalo! You are too cool.
Raymond E. Anne
Herkimer, NY - February 17, 2010
Heard this song(Remember) for the first time today and my wife said it was me to a tee. I had to agree. We've sent it to our youngest son (who has the same problem). Very humorous.
Frank Wilson
Yeovi, Somerset, England - January 25, 2009
Tom, you're not only one of my favorite performers in any medium, but Trolling for Owls is one of the things I most like to give to others. I hope the CDs are available again soon!

Classic Rush last night at Phillys' World Cafe Live with New Rush in the mix.Tom was in great voice, good humour, socialized with the audience & we loved it! No one had the "Urge for Going" except to see Tom again soon! Thanks!
B J Schwartz
Lafayette Hill, PA - December 7, 2009
Tom delighted the World Cafe Live audience last night by
presenting a special concert feature: He performed two
classic songs {ie., "Ladies Love Outlaws" and "These Days"}
on his Guild 12-string guitar. The instrument rekindled
the rich melodies with a warm, robust tone. The 12-string made a delightful reappearance after such an extended absence!
Bruce Tuller
Horsham, PA - December 7, 2009
I, too, was at the Utica concert. I've seen Bromberg and Douglas and I'd put your guitar mastery above them. I'm glad I was able to see you in person. Having your CDs will keep that evening alive. Panama Limited & Galveston Flood were outstanding, Thank you & God Bless "Trolling" is great
Ray Anne
Herkimer, NY - Bovember 19, 2009
Thank you for such a great evening at your Munson Williams performance. It was terrific having the chance to chat with you, the music was terrific and brought back a lot of memories of the old Hootenanies around Boston. All the best.
Les LaBrecque
Clinton, NY - November 16, 2009
I was also at the Munson-Williams show of 11-14 and enjoyed the story-telling, the superb musicianship and the wonderfully evocative vocals. It not only stoked great memories but provided an encouraging reminder that the singer-songwriter tradition continues. Thanks Tom!
John Simmons
Utica, NY - Nopvember 15, 2009
I just returned from your performance at Munson-Williams in Utica and wanted you to know that it was one terrific evening. Great music, great tales, all in a fairly intimate venue.
My lady, at the time, and I were regulars at Club 47 during the 60's.
Tonight's show brought back some of my fondest memories of that era. It was a special time and Club 47 was a special place.
Frank Dardano
Utica, NY - November 15, 2009
It's great to see you are still recording. I have some catching up to do since Circle Game and Shadow Dream Song. Thanks for the beautiful music and soulful singing. It's just great to have found this site and hear more songs are out! Keep rocking.
Carol
Austin, TX - November 14, 2009
I was sent a link to You Tube and the Remember Song. I don't know when I've laughed that much. Whenever I'm having a down day, I click on the link and listen to it again. It is priceless and oh so my generation. Thank you for your sense of humour and a great, fun song.
Lori
Timmins, ONT - October 28, 2009
Saw you play in Norwich, VT over the weekend. Wonderful show. The ability to stand on stage with just a guitar and a voice is something that few modern performers can do. It was a beautiful show. Thank you for sharing your songs with us.
William Vincent
Hanover, NH - October 26, 2009
My brother and I have enjoyed your music together since we were boys and were fortunate enough to see you near Rochester in the spring of 2007. We made the journey together with our third brother from Nova Scotia. Along the way we recalled our youth and how we enjoyed your music together as a family. The concert was amazing and it was our first trip together in years. Unfortunately my brother passed away unexpectedly about a week after the show. I have comfort that we will always have that special trip and memory. I will be attending your concert at Hugh's Room in Toronto on November 12th with my brother's wife and friends (all enjoy your music). I know that it is a lot to ask but could you remember my brother (Robert/Bob Fumerton) and play one his favorites for everyone's enjoyment. He loved "Sugar Babe" and your rendition of "You Know Love has Made a Fool of You". I know it is a lot to ask and I understand if it is not possible but we certainly would appreciate it to honour his memory and love of your music.
Gray Fumerton
Ottawa, ONT - October 23, 2009
As I told you Friday night in Minneapolis your music has been a part of me since 1970 and it will always be a part of me. I will always treasure the memory of your show. Thanks, and please come to Minneapolis again, soon.
Tom
Minneapolis, MN - October 13, 2009
Saw you last night at the Old Town School of Folk Music -- great show. Last saw you 35 years ago when your last album was released. Can't wait another 35 years (we're both too old), so how about some more new music soon. Thanks for a lifetime of enjoyment.
Jerry Wallack
Chicago, IL - October 12, 2009
Thanks from Minneapolis. Your concert at the Cedar was excellent and particularly moving was "Child's Song". I last saw Tom at the Guthrie in Mpls about 30 some years ago but frequently play the records. Since neither Tom nor I are likely to have 30 more years in us, I will clearly have to fly to New England to see some concerts. Thanks Tom for an excellent show.
Ken Cutler
Minneapilis, MN - October 11, 2009
Many Moons ago I had some songs which I thought were sung by Tom Rush they were Starlight, Sweet Baby James, Wrong End of the Rainbow and Merry Month of. The version of Sweet Baby James is beautiful much softer more mellow than when James Taylor sings it. I would love to get ahold of these songs again but can't find them anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks
Joanna Pickford
Richmond, NSW Australia - August 31, 2009
[NOTE: These songs were on the album "Wrong End of The Rainbow" which is out of print, although it is sold as part of a 2-album import set at Amazon.com. It may also be downloaded from iTunes.]
Well it must be something in the way things move!
The preceding comment is nearly exactly what happened to me today. The difference is "Circle Game" popped up in my random rotation on my computer. Out of 20,000 songs (what a great world we live in, where we can carry 20,000 songs around in less than five pounds of technology!) "Circle Game" arose and reminded me of how great music can be.
This album was one of my first purchased in the back in 1968. It was the third CD I acquired when I made the shift (Beatles and Enya were the first two) to digital. It is the one of the first things that I ripped to my computer when I learned that I could do such a thing.
Arriving here from Wikipedia I am delighted to learn that Tom is still performing. It is the highlight of my day.
Thank you Tom for all the years of excellence.
Jeff Michaels
Hiuntington Beach, CA - August 30, 2009
I purchased "the Circle Game" CD about a year ago; it's one I remember from my younger years, but my sister ended up with the "album"! I listen to the music almost every nite and know the words to most all of those fabulous songs!
It would be great if you would travel to Ohio (particularly the Columbus area) for a concert -- are there any plans in the future??
Keep up the great work -- you are definitely one of the best from the "60's"!
Carol Dailey
Columbus, OH - August 27, 2009
Woke up this morning with The Circle Game in my head and suddenly realized this was 2009 and Tom Rush might be found in something called Wikipedia and might have a website and by God he was and he does and I ate, slept, and breathed that voice while I tried to learn to play guitar and grow up back then. I didn't do so well at either, but now that I've gotten hurled back to the sixties by that sound, I'm trying to figure out what I'll do there. Maybe take a little walk ...
Phil Kabza
Charlotte, NC - August 25, 2009
Remember seeing you in the coffee houses in Boston in the 60's. You have always been amazing. Miss you and really miss living in New England! Thank you for the music that filled my life.
Jane Stuart
Germantown, TN - August 8, 2009
We saw you @ Jonathan's last night [7/15]. Such a joy to see you again. Your show was fantastic... moving... funny. New CD is incredibly good - you are rightfully proud of it. Our very first date as a couple was your performance @ King's Rook in Ipswich... coming full circle last night was quite an experience. Thanks for being there Tom and we'll see you again.

Ogunquit, ME - July 17, 2009
I was lucky enough to attend your very private concert under the big top tent at Prescott Park with my daughter and a longtime friend. What could have been a major disappointment because of the rain turned out to be a memory that will last a lifetime. My husband and I have been huge fans of yours since the late sixties. We used to see you every chance that we could in Cambridge or on any college campus in the area. Thanks for appreciating your loyal fans. By the way, my husband loved his new t-shirt and CD. Great new music to add to our Tom Rush collection.
Have a great summer and maybe we will see you at Jonathan's.
What we know for sure is that you are AWESOME. Thank you.
Marie
Lebanon, ME - July 2, 2009
What a great time last night at Prescott Park! A little rain doesn't deter die hard fans. Your impromptu "couple of songs" under the tent was fantastic! Thanks! Looking forward to a return visit when the sun is shining.

Portsmouth, NH - July 2, 2009
Unlike a lot of your fans 6 months ago I had no idea who Tom Rush was but someone sent me the "Forgot" song in and I became curious and checked out your home page and listened to some of your music. And Zap, I was captured and fell totlly in love with your music. I now have bought 5 of the CD's am going to get some more next payday. I listen to them at home, work, and on the road. I grew up listening to country (classic)Grand Ole Opery music and have had a love of traditional songs. I was very happy to see that you are going to be in Minneapolis in October, it is 380 miles from here but I am already checking out the tickets so I can be there. Just keep on doing what your doing. See you in October. By the way my 16 year old grandson really likes your music wants to see you too.
Barb Dumas
NAsh, ND - July 1, 2009
I've been a fan of yours since the sixties when I first saw you live in London at Les Cousins. I have all your albums and I want to congratulate you on your latest: really one of your best. Hope you come to Belgium once more in the near future, if not: record a live DVD with your recent songs. Keep up the good work.
Roel Van Bambost
Ghent, Belgium - June 30, 2009
Hi Tom,
I feel like a 63 year old groupy! Loved your wife's book and the concerts on the farm in NH, and the Opera House in Maine. Look forward to seeing you in Portsmouth in a few days. If it doesn't rain like it has been the last few week we will know she missed a good chance!
Steve Murad
So Hampton, NH - June 27, 2009
I am so glad I came across your guestbook. I really do not know how many Moroccans know you but am I lucky I heard you on a new york radio station in the eighties and from that moment my fondest wish was to get your circle game album until I bought it in a small record store in Halifax,Canada and since that day this album has been my desert island most cherished item. It is true that Joni Mitchell's lyrics are a big asset for the album but the distingtive singing skill and warmth of Tom Rush have given those lyrics yet another dimension for which I am grateful because it is pure delight and enjoyment. Thank you Tom, it may be only a song but it does a lot to the heart and the mind in a very an assuming way.
abdelaziz TALEB
Rabat, Morocco - June 25, 2009
I love the new album!! Some of your best work ever. I have been a fan since the Club 47 days growing up in Boston. Your beautiful music has been a constant accompaniment to my life and I have now seen you in concert on both coasts and in the middle near Chicago. Only wish it could have been even more frequent since your sense of humor is as great a gift as your wonderful music and you really need to see you live (except for Trolling for Owls ) for that. Thank you so much for the joy you've given me. Live long and prosper! I'm waiting for the next album.
Jonathan Annis
Carmel Valley, CA - June 23, 2009
Having entered my 6th inning of this game of life and now having "What I Know" as yet another perfect soundtrack from the musical genius, warmly embracing voice, sweet humor, honest emotions and poetry perfections of Tom Rush is a gift so worth waiting for. Peace be upon you and those you touch. Thank you so very much.
Lin
Greenfield, MA - June 19, 2009
I saw you at the Napa Valley Opera House tonight...THANK YOU!
I feel that all is well in the world if Tome Rush is still singing. I once moved to Kingsville, Tx. and felt I was so far
away from my culture and was feeling so lonely...then I saw
you on TV (1980} and it cheered me up. I go to hear you whenever you are near. Georgetown, Carlisle, Kennedy Center,
Birchmere in Alexandria almost every year,Ramshead in Baltimore, Berkeley and now Napa.
Still the same Tom! Keep singing...
Melissa Horton
Sonoma, CA - May 16, 2009
Dear Tom, I am looking forward to seeing you in concert at the Emerson Umbrella on May 30. I have been a fan since the 60's, when "Urge for Going" was my personal anthem. This concert is special to me for 2 reasons. It's the night before my birthday, and I have a studio at the Umbrella. So you are singing in my "home". I want to thank you for coming, and supporting the Nature Connection and to invite you to stop by my pottery studio in the building after the concert. You are one of my favorite musicians, and one of the most long-lived. Keep on making the music we love!
Suzanne Hill
Concord, MA - May 15, 2009
I was in Concord, NH on April 22,2009, and after the show I shook your hand and said,"Good to see ya again Tom". You said, "Good to see you and thanks fo comin' man." What you did not know, and would have no reason to know, is that I was there in the beginning with you and that night my 10 year old little girl, Rose, said "Daddy do you think Tom remembers you?" I said to her, "Rose its not if Tom remembers me or not but that he carries the love and music in his heart and this is why I wanted you to see him here and now". Tom and I both know that this is what life is all about and his music has always reflected those thoughts. See ya later Tom and thanks for a lifetime of heart felt music.
Tony Introcaso
Manchester, NH - May 1, 2009
Thanks for a great concert last evening in Concord, NH. My wife and I have been fans since before our marriage way back in 1963 when we caught your act at the Second Fret in Philadelphia. You were the opening act for Mike Seeger. Before the show I wondered "who is Tom Rush." Imagine that.
YankeeBrad
Concord, NH - April 23, 2009
Hearing you on the Prairie Home Companion was one of the best things that has happened to me in years. It was like coming home to hear your voice and guitar, a little older maybe, but still as warm and comfortable as a best pair of boots. Are you still playing that old Harmony Sovereign? I doubt you'll ever come out to play in Victoria or Vancouver, but I'd be first in line and carrying my treasured vinyl copy of the Elektra recording EKS-7288 better known as Tom Rush and hoping for an autograph just like the 14 year old I was when I bought it in Montreal at a huge record sale downtown where they were getting rid of all their folk vinyl. I think it was your record that found me and for better or worse gave me a direction which I've followed into my now early 50's. It has been an amazing trip. Thank you for your gifts of sincerity and honest acoustic music. Good health and be well. Yours sincerely,
Danna Waldman

I bought Circle Game in 1968, I was 17, I have changed but Tom Rush hasn't.......this is a brillianr new album. Next year I retire with two ambitions - one is to see Tom Rush live - keep playing at least until september 2010!
Iain Melvin
Dorchester, U.K. - April 18, 2009
I saw you in Twin Falls, ID a couple of weeks ago and was so impressed with you and your music. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed your show. My only regret was that my youngest son was not with us. He too learned to play the guitar on his own with only 3 lessons and I know he would have been blown away by your playing. He lives and works in Las Vegas and when I got home from your concert I immediately called him and told him to get on your website. Congratulations on a wonderful life of pleasing music. p.s. love your new album
Curtis Asay
Buhl, ID - April 15, 2009
A group of us saw your performance at the Lyric Theatre this past January. Music and lyrics, as always, authentic, meaningful and pure. Did a lot of reflecting that evening. Your performance was still with us days later. Love your new CD, What I Know. We can't wait to see you on Long Island at the end of this month.
Judith Mindlin
NYC - April 4, 2009
Hey, Tom! My wife and I just got home from watching you perform at the High School, in Kent WA. We loved every minute of it, and I wanted to thank you for putting the autograph on my new Cd, "What I know"!! Loved the Show!!

Looking forward to the April 9th Concert in New London. 'Got a Mind To Ramble' was one of my favorite albums, especially Mole's Moan. You came to play at my Hingham High in MA and made my own washtub bass from Josh?... will have that available should you like :). from Al, retired music teacher k-12 Sunapee, NH.
Alan L Peterson
Sunapee, NH - March 23, 2009
We saw you in Blackfoot Idaho on Feb 21 and you were simply awesome! Played "What I Know" on the way home....that was the first venue where the CD was for sale. It is amazing!!! Thanks for playing "Urge for Going".
Deb Hufner
Farmington, UT - March 22, 2009
Tom, you will never know... the times we turned to your tunes to get us through the nights when all else seemed to mean nothing. Tom's guitar and songs were 'grounding'. Brought us back to home. Back to Boston, back to Cambridge, back to family, back to friends, back to what counts.
Thanks, Tom, for keeping us in touch with what counts.

Dennis Swartz
Norfolk, VA - March 1, 2009
Susan, the song you're thinking of is "Gnostic Serenade" by William Hawkins. It's on Tom's "Wrong End of the Rainbow" album. Your memory isn't shot. You were pretty accurate on the words.
Dan Wiegand
Frankenmuth, MI - March 17, 2009
I'm a 60s survivor in his own 60s. I've been a fan of yours since well before you turned us all on to James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. I just wanted to tell you my copy of WHAT I KNOW arrived in the mail just as my wife went in for what was supposed to be simple gall bladder removal, and turned into nearly 10 hours on the operating table. Your new CD has been the only new music either of us has cared to listen to since she got home, a warm bath of healing energy and calm sanity in a world suddenly gone crazy. Thank you, more than I can say.
What you do mattters, more than you know. Please live forever.
Spider Robinson

Westbrook, ME - MArch 13, 2009
Great new recording- worth the wait! I've already bought 3 copies to share with friends. Thanks for great work, and for all the wonderful concert moments I've had the privilege of attending around NE since 1969~ !!
Marilyn
Brighton, MA - March 12, 2009
I have a song that's been stuck in my head for years.
"And finally/we are as the times are/we meet to part/and go our
separate ways/And I am trapped/ on this crazy star/I've been a
prison all my days."
Isn't that a Tom Rush song? Or did I do too much you-know in the .)
'70s?
(Webmaster note: Tom sings it on the "Wrong End of the Rainbow" album. It was written by Bill Hawkins )
Susan Dill
Kansas City, MO - March 10, 2009
The new album is great, I think it is the best thing you have done since "The circle game". Please make another album soon.

piece. Your music just stirs my soul ! Thanks
Malvina
Methuen, MA - March 7, 2009
I grew up in the 60's. When most kids were into the Beatles I was into folk music. I liked the fact that Tom Rush played and sang the real folk music, like Woody Guthrie et. al. and the real blues,from people like Robert Johnson. I thought he did the songs better than the original artists. I think I own the complete discography from "Live At The Unicorn" on, plus his video and songbook. I just ordered the newest CD. I used to see Tom at the Chessmate in Detroit. Wish there places like that still around. Thanks for the new album Tom. I can't wait to add it to my collection.

Getttysburg, PA - February 25, 2009
Just unwrapped and listened to the new CD...and it took me back to the '60s when I saw/heard you at La Cave in Cleveland. I and my associates wore out those early albums listening to "Drivin' Wheel" and "These Days". Good to have you back, so to speak.
Tom Jacoby

Assonet, MA - February 20, 2009
When are you coming to England again. I first saw you in 1962/3 in "The Jug of Punch" folk club in Birmingham England and it was the first time I had seen anybody play "Bottleneck. That night, you played "Moles Moan" I just had to buy your L.P. and have been a fan ever since. I spent months and months picking the needle off the vinyl and dropping it back down trying to work out how to play it in the tuning you played. I eventually finished up in an open D. I had no idea what an open tuning was at that time. I managed to play it in open D and it became my party piece and still is after all these years. Let me know if and when you might be comming over again.

Tom, truly enjoyed meeting you and hearing you live for the first time. I have listened to your records since 1972, but in Madisonville, KY at the Arts Center this made my day of actually seeing and hearing that wonderful voice and songs. My husband and daughter were thrilled too. Come back to Kentucky anytime, we love you here. Thanks for your autographs on all my LPs and cd.

Happy Birthday Tom!
Because your new CD is so special, I'm patiently waiting to buy it in person and have you autograph it. So Hurry
up and get back to Maine!
Warm wishes,

Hey Tom: Just checked your schedule and if I lived back in Jersey I could finally see you. Want you here in Crystal River so badly. This county would love you as much as I do. Think I'll call the Plantation Inn AGAIN and try to get you on their schedule...before I die. Thanks for all your beautiful music......

I have been enjoying your music since I was 16...now 54. I have many of your older "albums" and pictures of you in the early '70's performing in Lenox MA! Your voice has improved with age...recently saw you at Cafe Lena, Saratoga and at Proctors, Schenectady NY. Can't get enough:) I thoroughly enjoy your performances increasingly at each event...Keep up the great work!

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an advance copy of the new CD (Tom's always been a favorite),and start to finish it's like getting a REALLY warm and welcome hug from
a true friend you might have never expected to see again.
Absolutely first rate in every respect, and I dare to say that Tom sounds as good as ever..maybe even better!Congratulations to all involved and the best of luck with this fine work!
And please try not to make us wait quite as long for the next one!

the new cd is stunning! Great originals and excellent choice of cover songs. Don't understand why Mr. Rush waited so long for a new cd!! He's great. Like it better than the new Bruce Springsteen Cd!

Tom Rush sang 'Happy Birthday' to me!" That's all I've been able to think about since we saw you Friday night at TCAN in Natick . . . so glad we hung around after the show.
Hope you don't mind, my daughter captured my favorite ("Child's Song") on her cell phone and gave it to me as her present! You are my special gift this year!
I'm listening to What You Know right now, and you are a genius!

A big fan since seeing you perform at (believe it or not) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute about 35+ years ago. There was a never-to-be-forgotten version of "Rockport Sunday," with just you on stage and all the stage and house lights dark. Any chance of an appearance in the
Chicago area? I have a vinyl album of "Classic Rush" that would love to be autographed. Thanks!

My friends and I have been your fans since you introduced Joni Mitchell on the stage in, I think Stoneham, MA-in our early years! Most recently we attended your concert in Newburyport. One of your most avid fans, my friend, passed away of cancer shortly after your concert. Her favorite song was "No Regrets." We plan to see you at the Me and Thee Coffee House in Marblehead in April. "Laura" will be with us in spirit. Please sing her favorite song.

Just Received your new CD that I ordered at the Dec. Philly show. (I guess being a couple miles from Appleseed recordings is a benefit.) Great selection of songs. A group of 20 of us saw that show, and we should get at least 30+ for this years show. See you in December.

As a teenager who was forbidden by her very strict ballet teacher to be out on the slopes with everyone else during the winter, I sulked in my room with Tom. I remember thinking, "Who IS this guy?" when sang "Urge For Going". I could hear he understood, not in a superficial way, what winter was really all about. Little did I know he lived just down the road a piece. I spent my time in my room thereafter not sulking but revelling in his musicality and impeccable taste. He's always been a class of his own.

Thanks for the terrific show at the Newberry (SC) Opera House on 01/13/09. The last time I saw you was a few years back at the Newport (NH) Opera House. Hmmmm... opera houses in towns that start with "New"". See you at the Met in a few years?

I have been a fan since I heard the white album in '66. Tom makes me want to sing and play, which I'm still doing after 51 years. Still do Panama Limited and Turn Your Money Green. What a great singer and stylist. My Man Tom Rush!

My husband said your songs were his greatest source of comfort 25 years ago when his mother, father and little sister moved from Missouri to Arizona and he stayed behind by himself. He said you got him through a very difficult time when he was 20 years old and alone.
