Who's That Coming — from Rory's appearance on Don Kirshner's 'Rock Concert' show, broadcast on this day in 1974.
A couple of Photos of Rory by Janet Macoska taken the day after his show at the Agora in 1976 "I think he had just played at the Cleveland Agora the night before, and I was going to the hotel to conduct an interview with Rory – and do some photos of him -for a local newspaper. I'd only started shooting in 1974, but I realized how important it was to break the ice (break down the barrier between subject and photographer). A street vendor was selling flowers so I bought a white carnation and took it up to Rory when I met him. He was in his room drinking hot chocolate (cocoa — whatever you call it), which I thought was "different" (not coffee; not tea; cocoa). Anyhow, Rory was soft-spoken, kind of a shy, and he really liked the gesture of bringing him a flower and held it as he spoke to me during the interview, and did so while I was photographing him. He was so soft-spoken and gentle inside, yet he could rip away at that guitar onstage and make it scream the blues."– Janet Macoska
