  • One Song Concert #52 is Flying Red Horse from my Out of the Valley CD. It's a song about what may happen if one of the flying red horses from the Mobil station should escape. I worry about these things and sometimes my worries turn into songs. This makes a full year of weekly One Song Concerts. I don't know when the next one will be, but I will be back. Thank you for watching and listening!

    John, thank you so very much for this addition to this series. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I used to sing a set of songs to our kids at bedtime when they were little and I always ended with this one. It made me cry then and it made me cry again today. Tears of appreciation and hope for the healthy development and independence of our children. They are in their mid and late twenties now and while we remain all very close they have developed in a healthy and independent way. You are a very important part of our lives. -Tom

    I know some of us have been saying we don’t need Greek mythology for around 2000 years. Why? Because we have troubadours of old like John who can lyric mythology in a modern world of steel and glass. Like who would put new wine in an old flask? Best time to move on to something new is now, thank you for that Mr. Gorka - if I see a penny I sometimes pick it up!

    Ha! My user picture is a old Flying A sign, I took a picture in 1983 or so on US 15 north of Harrisburg, PA. Flying A was bought out by Mobil in time. Looking forward to seeing you when Covid is over in Maryland, DC area. Best, the Flying Red Horse

    My second choice would be to escape on a flying red horse. My first choice would be a song from John Gorka.

    When I first heard the song I thought it was about an adult movie actress that had decided it was time to move on, but the more literal interpretation seems equally likely and I will defer to the author. :)
    In any case, this is a song from the first John Gorka album that I bought (Out of the Valley . . . which I still rank among my ten best purchases ever) and which has grown on me over the years.

      I remember driving home from Godfreys we’re year and I swear a saw that logo along the road. Was it my imagination? Can’t remember.

      Out of the Valley was also my first - and then I bought the others :-) My first exposure to John was in Chicago where he opened for Mary Chapin Carpenter - and while she was good, John stole the show.
