Gordon – Spanish guitar
“House-sitting” in the winter mornings on the old
schooner Stephen Taber I would sit on the companion ladder (where the first
heat from the old woodstove would reach me) and watch the gulls soaring against
the mountain. They’re great fliers. I made this tune for my friend Peter
Platenius, who first enchanted me with music from his native Peru and Bolivia
on the guitar.
Gulls in the Morning is recorded on the
albums Clear Away in the
Morning, North Winds Clearing, Peter
Kagan and the Wind, and Other Eyes, and is in the songbook Time and the Flying Snow
