John McCutcheon blends music and storytelling as well as anyone. We heard a great concert tonight. John lost his father just last week. So there may have been few dry eyes when he started the second set with a beautiful bittersweet song called "Iowa". I actually was thinking this song is called "Hey, Pop." The song is a tribute to his father and is written as a phone call to his "Pop" as John gets ready for a show. His father was having memory problems, so in the song John patiently repeats, "I'm in Iowa, Pop."
