So, why am I sending yet another reminder? I can’t tell you how many times, someone has said, “Oh was that last Friday?” Or, “I totally forgot.” So here are the essentials:

CD Release Celebration this Friday, Nov. 5th, 8 P.M.

Center for Spiritual Living Nashville (CSLN), 6705 Charlotte Pike, Nashville, Tn. 37209

Full band concert

$5 suggested love offering

Light snacks and drinks provided

CDs will be available for sale

For those out of town or otherwise unable to make it, streamed at CSLN.TV or go to YouTube and click CSLNashville.

Hope you can make it. Let’s have a great time.

Hey Everyone,

I know how busy we all get with plans and schedules, so as I promised in my Oct. 6th newsletter, I am sending out a brief reminder of the upcoming Release Celebration of my new CD “Messages”(My first new release in over 20 years).

It will be on Friday, Nov. 5th at 8p.m. at CSLN (Center For Spiritual Living Nashville). The address is 6705 Charlotte Pike, Nashville, Tn. 37209. Great band, great music, great songs, great people, CDs available for sale–what’s not to love? And what better way to start coming out of our long hibernation.

I believe the event will be streamed for those out of town, by going to either CSLN.TV, or going to YouTube and searching for CSLN Nashville. But, as I mentioned previously, there is nothing like live energy–the give and take between performers and audience, so please put it on your calendar and come celebrate with me.

Namaste,

Gordon

ELLISVILLE NEWS Update 10/6/21

Hi Everyone,

I hope it was a good summer for you, and that you have all remained free from the effects of fires and floods and COVID (Oh my!).

I have some BIG NEWS! I released a new CD this year and am having a CD Celebration (Release Party) in November. The event will be held at CSLN (Center For Spitirual Living), 6705 Charlotte Pike in Nashville on Friday, Nov. 5th at 8 p.m.

The CD was actually released the first week of February, but with COVID concerns and restrictions, I had to delay it. Now, I am getting to celebrate the accomplishment, and I invite you to come out and celebrate with me.

The CD is titled “MESSAGES” because all the songs have social or spiritual themes (Religious inclusivity, faith, unity, mental health, and bullying, among others), and I am very proud of it.

I will have a great ensemble backing me, there will be some light refreshments afterwards, and of course, CDs for sale. The only remaining ingredient to make this special is you!

There is a suggested love offering of $5.00, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Though this event may be streamed for those who can’t come out, it would be much nicer if you can be there in person, as there is nothing like live energy. Although I don’t usually send out updates more than once every month or two to keep from spamming people, I know how busy we all get, so I will probably send out a reminder or two before then.

Meanwhile, I will also be doing a few songs (Not necessarily all from the CD) at the CSLN Service on the Sunday before (Oct. 31st) at 11 a.m.

Okay–back to event planning. Have a great month, and (If you choose) a spooky Halloween.

ELLISVILLE NEWS UPDATE 8/10/21: Bobby’s Idle Hour and Brown’s Diner Gigs Cancelled

Hi Everyone,

With this new and more contageous surge of COVID cases spreading rapidly, we have decided to cancel Bobby’s Idle Hour on 8/14 and Brown’s Diner on 8/18.

We were all looking forward to getting out there and playing and seeing some of our friends out there, but with this version spreading so fast, and some people in the ensemble having some legitimate health concerns, keeping the gigs was really not an option at this time.

I am hoping that when things settle down, we will be able to re-schedule these or schedule some new ones. In the meantime, I apologize if you were planning to come out.

Stay safe.

Gordon

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder (Actually two).

Next Saturday, August 14th, I will be performing with my ensemble from 3 – 4 p.m. at the new Bobby’s Idle Hour, 9 Music Sqare S. (Grand Ave. between 16th and 17th Ave. S.).

We will also be at Brown’s Diner on Wednesday, Aug. 18th from 6:30 – 8:30. It’s at 2102 Blair Blvd.

I hope you can make one or the other (Or both).

Meanwhile, the first CSLN Writers Night last night came off well, and we hope the Board will approve this as an ongoing event. If you were there and enjoyed the night, please let Lynn and the Board members know. Thanks, to the Events team for organizing this, the Hospitality team for all the yummy food, our sound people Ray and AJ, Spotlight Performer Julie Grower and Featured Performer Sean O’Shea, and to the performers in the Open Mic.

See you soon.
