In this post I mentioned that Suzanne Vega's songs Gypsy and In Liverpool were based on the same person, her first love. I saw her in concert last week and she joked about this connection in a very charming way.
By some strange coincidence, just as she was about to play Gypsy, a man from the audience shouted: "In Liverpool!" She said "Thank you for the suggestion, but not right now," and went on to tell the story about the summer camp where she taught folk music and disco dancing, and the man who inspired Gypsy taught art. She didn't mention that this man was from Liverpool, but she suddenly asked in a dreamy voice: "Are you from Liverpool, sir? You who requested the song?" That would have been a lovely epilogue to this story, if this man from her past appeared at one of her concerts and requested a song about himself. It wasn't him, though! Or at least he didn't want to admit it...
She did play In Liverpool as an encore, and it was great.
