Quite a number of friends and family gathered at the Rudyard Kipling on November 22 to pay tribute to the late Gordon Graham, an eccentric singer-songwriter who died in September at forty-seven of lung cancer. The tribute, put together by Graham’s high school friend, publicist and former public radio personality Leslie Stewart, was an interesting mix of Louisville’s acoustic music community, including danny flanigan, John Corder, Marcy French, Serpent Wisdom’s Jak Son Renfro and Ken Luccese, Heidi Howe, Joel Timothy, Langan Smith, Bill Ede, Woody Mauldin and yours truly. Members of Graham’s family were also there. There were a number of surprised comments from those attending about the range of friends Graham had.

The event was also a fund-raiser for the St. John’s Center, where Graham lived out his last years. Graham’s CDs are on sale at ear X-tacy records and proceeds from the sale of those will also benefit the Center.
