A perfect collaboration - Kottke was approached by Mike, essentially auditioning for him, wanting to make music together.  Kottke usually goes on his own, but was so impressed by Gordon, they ended up making two lp's together - both really good, this one being GREAT!

The British critic A.A. Gill called himself and his colleagues the " chatterati " and this seems spot-on. BTW, I knew him when he worked in a Soho sex shop before he found fame. It all sort of fits.

I think you mean well, but that is really an awful comment.   I think you should think a little harder on that one.  Seriously.  Some of the things you say are really frightening.  I know many of us say critical and "troll" like things here.  We are just having fun and participating in the art process in what I would submit to you is a most important way.   Why do you read these posts?  Why post here yourself?  Do you realize that because you claim to like practically everything, your opinion on anything is almost ridiculous?  No one takes your praise to heart.  Artist know this, they are not stupid.  Most good and great novelists are also the most severe critics BTW.  Who would take anything you say seriously?  How are you even participating? Criticism is the very lifeblood of art and democracy.  That is truly a shameful comment.  Sorry Cy.  I still like you though.

I'm pretty convinced he must have an extra hemisphere in his brain. (Richard Thompson, too).

blech!

There are a million, " Genius," guitarists out there who make music that only appeals to awestruck guitarists. There's a reason why most people have never heard of them.

{#Clap} Well-said!  This is me, trying with all my might to extricate my foot from my mouth. (How that foot managed to get there in the first place is a total mystery to me, since I can't even touch my toes anymore.)

I direct this to those who took michael's tongue-in-cheek comment seriously and challenged his claim of great talent.  First, did you happen to hear (as Doug Adams might say) the whooshing sound of michael's humor going right over your head?  Second, unless you are, say, Leo Kottke's proud mom, why are you so jealous of a claim of such competence, even if you misperceived it?  Have you been to Youtube lately, where you can probably find a video of an 8-year-old Asian kid playing this, or a dude in Balboa Park playing it with his toes?  Do you hate them, too?

Try to love one another.  Right now.

I once respected you - thought you had intelligent comments. I hope you were just kidding here.  {#Pray} If not, I have lost all admiration for you. And if you CAN play it (and not on a turntable or a CD-player, but actually strumming a guitar and hitting all those notes with your actual fingers), then I shall retract this statement, pending proof of said ability to play this song. (Record your rendition of it and put it out there for everyone.)

And furthermore, if you can play it, what can you NOT play, ability-wise?  Yep, this is me, kicking the anthill. (I have no videos of me kicking anthills, but I know where there are some anthills, so if you need proof, I'll go kick one just for you.)

This is the theme song for "Folk Scene," a show that I listen to every Sunday night on KPFK FM in Los Angeles. It's a GREAT show...you can listen to it, too, wherever you are, at http://www.kpfk.org . Click on the "Archives" button/link and scroll down to find the most recent Sunday evening show. You won't be sorry. Lots of live performances from major talents, as well as way cool interviews!

I saw Leo Kottke once in a small club on the campus of California State University at Long Beach back in the 1970's. He had the flu, but still was amazing, both on that guitar and them vox!
