Where is Maria ... Where is the peace that calms
my heart ? That's how I've always taken this
song ... when I more recently heard Townes Van
Zandt's "Quicksilver Dreams of Maria" I felt that
this could very well be the "maria" in this Greg Brown masterpiece.
That's an interesting comment. A few years back, Greg was interviewed on air byt the great NYC DJ Vin Scelsa. Early in Vin's career, he shepharded Townes around from show to show trying to keep Townes of trouble.

Anyway, after Greg played Where is Maria, Vin played a recording of Quicksilver Dreams. So apparently Vin saw a connection too. Greg however didn't say anything about it. I had hoped it would lead to some conversation about Townes. I was curious if Greg was a fan. But nothing.
