Tom Goss at Lori's Diner in San Francisco I first wrote about Tom Goss back in December of 2oo8 after discovering him through the Feast of Fun podcast. I was deeply moved by his song that he wrote called Rise. Since that time I have written a few more posts about him and seen him perform here in San Francisco this past year. Yes, I am a fan.
