GORDON BOK IN CONCERT REVIEWS

From The Boston Globe: "The music of Maine folk singer Bok is like a universe unto itself, a roughhewn land filled with hardscrabble people, rascals in high places, and a natural world that is both cruel and kind, deadly and nurturing." Read this review and more...

News From Carol:

When Gordon's brother Tony was living with ALS, he felt as if he started each day with a handful of quarters, energy-wise. They would be gone by the end of the day. He had to spend them wisely throughout the day to have enough to do the things he wanted to do.

The trick is every day is different and it is challenging to know what each activity and effort is going to cost. Somedays I feel there is about 17 cents left by the early afternoon and there is still a concert to go in the evening! And then some things give me quarters unexpectedly that help me get through the day - resting, breathing, music, friends. The one constant is the unpredictable nature of it all.

Last Saturday the quarters held up. I had the joy of joining Gordon is a concert at the Saco River Grange Hall in Bar Mills, ME. read the rest and see the pictures
