No, not Springsteen...... Bruce Cockburn.

Scored some tkts to see him today and the Mrs. and I are super stoked. We're big fans and he never gets to MO. He's playing at a smaller venue in St. Louis and now we just have to wait til Oct.

Never heard of him

When you say BRUUUUUUUCE like that,
I think of ELO

He's playing at a small venue near us this month, but I already had tix for another show that night.

last year I heard a solo live acoustic version of him doing his song 'Pacing the Cage', so learned it and played it at an open mic one night.

" I've proven who I am so many times...the magnetic strip's worn thin. And each time I was someone else....and everyone was taken in"

yeah, that's one his great tunes for sure.

AV....you might recall these two "hits" of his that actually saw some radio play back in the day.

"Wondering Where the Lions Are"

"If I had A Rocket Launcher"

you might check out some of his extensive catalog, he's been at it since the early 70's...i think his spiritual and religious values, and how he subtly weaves them into many of his songs might appeal to you.

Listened to both tunes PG, he was good
That first one was kinda folky, but I was raised on folky

That second tune had a really great lead break for a solo player
I mean it rocked

Switched my Pandora over a couple of weeks ago to the
Wendy Carlos channel, I love that 70s synthesizer music
