David Gordon first picked up a guitar in 1959, and he's been learning songs ever since. Lots and lots of songs. His new one-man show In My Life is a very personal retrospective of his favorite tunes from his (nearly) 60 years of singing for audiences. The concert playlist will include music and words by Lennon & McCartney, Tom Paxton, Kate Wolf, Robert W. Service, John McCutcheon, David Wilcox, Jacques Offenbach, Hoagy Carmichael, Stephen Foster, Iris DeMent, Ruggero Leoncavallo, Marty Robbins, a medieval French troubadour, and a few more. Yes, all of that crazy variety in 90 heart-filled minutes. In his concerts with guitar David draws on his lifelong love of traditional and contemporary acoustic music. With a rich and sensitive voice and a keen sense of drama, he interweaves songs of love, compassion, and laughter with stories, poetry, musings, and his own uniquely goofy brand of humor. Throughout his musical career, David's intention has always been to open hearts through song and story, and share with his listeners the power of words and music and the joys of living and love.
