Hello,

I loved finding this conversation about the great Dave Gordon here on Mudcat. Dave and Kay, were great favorites in the Dayton, Oh area.

I just wanted to put the word out that on July 26th at 1pm eastern time, I'll be playing a live concert with Dave, Kay and the band Watershed (Rick Wagner and Marvin Thordsen) from a live concert they did in the summer of 1981. It will be aired during the time slot of The Dear Green Place, and it's my honor to feature this wonderful moment in time from 39 years ago.

There is a lovely story that goes along with this broadcast. The concert was held in Kelly Hall, on the campus of Antioch College in Yellow Springs, OH. In those days WYSO recorded a lot of live concerts for replay on the station, and this concert was indeed recorded by WYSO's Chuck Ganzert and replayed later that evening on the Nightclub of the Air program.

In the audience that evening in 1981 was Kevin Bourne, who rushed to his home after the show, to record the show he had just watched on his cassette deck. During the ensuing years, Kevin played the cassettes once or twice a year, enjoying re-living the great music that happened on that night. But recently, Kevin delivered those tapes to WYSO - and we recorded them for this broadcast. We thank Kevin for sharing.

Kevin also did a lovely interview with Gina (Kay Gordon) Landis, that begins the broadcast.

We invite you all to listen to this special broadcast on WYSO at 91.3 fm or online at our website at wyso.org, or other radio apps. It will be broadcast only one time. July 26, 2020 1pm eastern time.
