Debbie Does Music (Gabriel Gordon)
She’s not having a midlife crisis, she’s reclaiming her love for live music. Follow mom of three Debbie Miller on her journey…
One Thursday several weeks ago my babysitter texted me out of the blue offering up her services. Of course, my husband and I jumped at the chance to get out.
I went online and checked out some local venues for live music. Zoey’s in Ventura, once again, piqued my interest. Someone named Gabriel Gordon was going to be playing in a couple of hours. I didn’t know of Gordon at the time, but that was remedied when I jumped on My Space and found his page. In case you don’t know, My Space isn’t just for the kids; It’s a great resource for music fans. It has streaming music, videos and personalized pages.
Within minutes, I knew Gabriel Gordon was someone I’d like to hear. The intensity of his lyrics drew me in.
My musical journey kept going with ITunes. I was able to sample songs and download Gabriel’s music within minutes, and burn CDs.
Just as the babysitter arrived, I loaded the CDs into the car stereo, and we drove to Ventura, which is just a long enough drive to hear his album Frequency.
Two hours into my musical experience with Gabriel Gordon, I was sitting in a room thoroughly enjoying his soulful sound.
In my opinion, you just can’t beat the experience of discovering music and then going out to see it live in the same evening! It reminds me, too, of what we’re always trying to encourage for our kids…explore, discover, make experiences real and meaningful. Next time you get the chance, check out your locals clubs, find the music on My Space and Itunes and then go out and have the experience. It’s good for the marriage, good for the soul and, needless to say, music to the ears!
