18th Annual Benefit Weekend

Friday, January 17, 2003

In recognition of his tireless efforts to promote awareness of the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay area, was the recipient of the 2002 WFMA John Denver Memorial Award.

Tom began with the Langston Hughes song I've Known Rivers and followed it with his own compositions Wild River and Sunshine. He also included in his set a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke entitled Growing Orbits.

Tom finished his set with another of his own songs, Chesapeake Born. Assisting him on stage were Grace Griffith and Tom Dundee (of Weavermania).
