After 12
years of co-leading the Co-Creators' Coffeehouse at
Center For Spiritual Living-Nashville, Gordon decided
to hand over the reins to co-host Butterfly, on the 12th
Anniversary of this event. Backed by a 4 piece band and
backing vocals, Gordon did a 1 hour concert, in front of
a large and enthusiastic crowd. He was awarded a plaque of
appreciation from Dr. Mitch Johnson, and received a standing
ovation at the end of the concert. It was a great
night. The Coffeehouse continues on the first Friday of
each month.
MARCH 5, 2011
Gordon performed "I'm Still
Here" at another rally at Legislative Plaza to support the
right to collective bargaining for teachers and other public
employees. Despite a persistent downpour, an estimated 3-5
thousand people (depending
on which TV news station did the estimating) showed
up. Gordon's song was the only live music at the
event, which drew supporters to Nashville from all over
Tennessee and even Kentucky, and at the end of the song, the
crowd could be heard chanting "Still Here! Still Here!"

Gordon performed "I'm Still Here", a working persons song written with Marty Rainone, at a Move On rally in Nashville, to support teachers and other public employees in Wisconsin and around the nation, in support of their right to collective bargaining. Hundreds of people cheered the song when it was done, and a brief clip was shown on the local Channel 5 (CBS) News. Afterwards, Gordon was asked if he would sing it again at an upcoming larger rally next week and he is currently awaiting confirmation of this. FEBRUARY 8, 2011 Gordon is now offering a free "Song of the month" from this website. To access the song, go to the "Music" page and scroll to the bottom where you will see the Bandbox player. It shows all the songs available for download and there will be one title listed as free. Click on it, and it will take you to the Bandbox Music Store, where you can download the song. This month's promotional song is a rockin' country tune called A LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT LOVE (written with Marty Rainone). Of course there are many other songs available for download on the Music page. To hear generous samples, go to the player at the top (These samples are longer than the ones in the Bandbox player, to give you more of a feel for the song). When you find the ones you want, you can order them from the Bandbox player at the bottom. Enjoy!
