Okay, I know I'm new here, but has anyone else had similar experiences? Take for instance about a half hour ago when I was getting some lunch down in Penn Station (yes, in NYC)... there was a female folk musician down there playing "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (pretty baddly, I might add). Now, I've worked above Penn Station for 3 years and I've NEVER heard anyone down there playing GL before. (Okay, I did hear that travesty of a pop remake of "If You Could Read My Mind" a year or two ago in the Penn Station KMart, but that's not quite the same.)

So here's the question -- what is the weirdest place/situation in which you've heard GL songs? (Or am I the only one having these experiences?)

Cris.

PS - it's thanks to that bad singer down in the station that I ran a search and found this site, so I guess she was good for something after all!
