I thought I'd heard that Kay Gordon was about to reissue some unreleased and old popular Dave and Kay material...
anybody know????
If so where can it be found?

Hi!

So happy for your interest in our music!!

I have gotten some information on some of our old recordings and may be getting rights back on them. Though I would LOVE to re-release old recordings, I simply don't have the funds as yet. I do still have the old masters from the Vetco recordings, but not the rights unfortunately. I have the rights to the kid's album (Room To Grow) however, and rights to most of the songs on Black & White Rainbows CD that was released shortly after Dave's death.

If you know of a way I could ger funding for re-release, please let me know. It bothers me that the music isn't heard by more people, though it has actually been recorded by a number of folks (Charlie King, John McCutcheon, Jim McCutcheon, Sally Rogers and more).

If you'd like to reach me, my email is ginakaysellshomes at yahoo DOT com.

By the way my name is different due to remarriage and my career in real estate.

Have a great day!

UPDATE:

My nephew has mad skillz in the recording studio and has offered to re-master the old masters. I have rights to the kids albums and perhaps that will be the first one to be re-released. I don't foresee this as an immediate thing however, will keep you all posted.

I went to a small benefit concert in Dayton OH in a church, I think, around 1986/87. I recall John McCutcheon played Devil Take the Farmer and and Saturday Night Uptown among others. After the concert I bought a cassette tape of Black and White Rainbows. Still one of my all time favorite tapes. The tape still plays, but I have just about worn it out. I'd love to new remastered copy. At the time I think there was a hope that Black and White Rainbows could be produced as a musical. I still think it would be a good one. --Greg Dawson

I never heard Dave live, but the used tapes I managed to locate really hit home for me. He was a great talent!!

About the time I found his music, especially one song just blew my socks off.--I think it was called:

"In Wyandotte County"

"In Wyandotte County the black maples grow,
When they move thier branches it makes the wind blow..."

Just great writing. --- I'm unable to pick and sing now, but that was one I was all set to learn. And I really think I'd've done it justice.

Kay, it is Amazing finding you at Mudcat.

Norm Whitman, host of WYSO 91.3 FM Yellow Springs, OH Detours played a long medley of Dave Gordon songs off of his copy of 'Black and White Rainbows' this past weekend and mentioned it was a rare and hard to find recording. I loved what I heard and would love to get a copy someday.

Actually that tune is called Corduroy Road. My husband (dec) and I used to perform that song. I heard Dave Gordon live on several occasions, as we lived near Dayton, Oh, where he performed many times. I have several of his albums. Great songwriter.

Hi all,

Well I haven't been able to get the rights to most of the albums yet, but am working on getting the Black and White Rainbows (with a few extra songs) charted out and preparing stage direction to make it into a play.

Who knows when this will be, as I am working 14 hour days!

At any rate, keep lovin' the music. There are some albums available on Amazon.com so good luck! I have B&WR made into MP3's now so that's good. We'll see what happens and what the fees are for any of this. Will update you - and if you want to go to Facebook, I have created a page "Dave Gordon Retrospective and Reissue Project" if you'd like to "like" it and put comments there as well.

Thanks for all you love,

Kay Gordon (Gina Kay Landis)
