This is the cover of my newest/oldest recording entitled “Before Beginning – The Unreleased I Know, Nashville, 1985” on Red House Records. It was recorded & mixed in 5 days in Nashville in November of 1985 and was produced by Jim Rooney. With a new mix by Rob Genadek 30 years later here in Minnesota I thought it was ready to see the light of day. 9 out the 10 songs here were rerecorded on my debut record “I Know” which was released in September, 1987. Before Beginning was released on July 22, 2016.

Hey John,
When are we going to get a Best of Gorka CD?
Dear John Gorka enjoyed yesterday’s concert in the Hague.
I have listened to your Nashville recordings in the car back home.
I relally love these renditions.
Still going strong, after I saw you the first time in 2005 at Snowbird folkfestival in Utah near
Park City.
Gonzo ,a luthier in Salt Lake City, let me listen to all your albums in his shop.
I talked to you then and hoped you would visit Europe.
In Venlo ,a few years later, near the German border you open the door for us during your soundcheck.
Your songs has been an inspiration to write my own songs.
I was very pleased you accepted the GetAway Van cd.
There are 2 covers on it yours and a John Martyn song, another hero off mine.
So again thank you for a great evening and to see you again next time in the Netherlands.
The first time we with 2, then 4 and yesterday with 8.
So I ‘m working hard to spread the “word”.
All the best untill we meet again.
