If there’s an opportunity to see her play, It’s a real treat. I try when there’s an opportune moment while there’s nothing else so pressing that it requires my attention. I’ve Seen Lori Goldston soundtrack films, play with Earth and El Pegaso, collaborate with longtime friend Sue Ann Harkey- each time is a profound experience. How well rounded her talent is.

Lori is an intimate shredder. You can see and here how years of playing music has created such a bond between her and the cello, how fluid the experience is, that you hear them speaking their own language. You can’t understand what is being said but you can interpret your own idea of what’s going on.

There are a slough of musicians that were participants in the NW music community in the 80′s and early 90′s who don’t seem to play out as frequently as they may have in the past. Great people who still make great music: Steve Fisk, Sue Ann Harkey, Calvin Johnson, David Lester and Jean Smith  are the few others that I can come up with off the top of my head. Although Calvin performs often enough, still there are so many more who are either no longer active, passed, or don’t reside in the NW.

I wish that they would come out of the woodwork and present themselves to the community that is so rich because of them; our unknown or forgotten legends.
