At a Glance…

Some of the best connections I have made for At a Glance has been through social media. Those connections were achieved by just general chatting and engaging with individuals, and this occurred even with all of social media‘s faults. I’ve been so fortunate to have found conversation with some wonderful and creative people, most of whom I would probably never run across in my regular day-to-day activities.

One of those engagements is a gentleman I have now known for quite some time across multiple platforms. We met back in the dark ages when X was known as Twitter, and when #FridayFollow (or #FollowFriday) was all the rage! I ran across Stephen while tweeting with a mutual artist friend. His fun, quirky art work caught my eye, and his kind and light hearted nature set him apart from other individuals. Throughout the years since those early days, Stephen has kept me updated on his art and the various journeys it has taken.  (Read More...)

Trevor Gordon was an accomplished recording artist, performer, and literary published musician who experienced the excitement of fame and the downside of the machinations of the music business. Trevor was someone whose full potential was possibly never brought to fruition in a life that was much too short.

Trevor‘s life story ended in London on January 10, 2013 at the age of 64. Local officials were contacted for a wellness check by his friend, Peter Foldy, who lives in California. Upon arrival, the local officials discovered Trevor deceased in his apartment… (Read More...)

I actually can’t remember exactly when I first came across Luna Collins. I do know that it was on one of our mutual social media platforms. I’m pretty sure we were discussing the Bee Gees or some other musically inclined group. We seemed to hit it off right away and struck up a friendship. Luna is one of those types of people that you instantly feel very comfortable with. There’s just a feeling you get, like she has an old soul. She’s very thoughtful in her words, slow to speak, quick to listen.

I have a feeling these attributes have not hindered, but rather aided her in her songwriting. Luna is a musician you see, and she prides storytelling as something she strives for in her songwriting. Being a good listener and a thoughtful thinker surely must provide added insight to draw her creativity from. (Read More…)

Fernando Perdomo first came across my radar back in 2008. I was attending a concert where he was playing Lead Guitar for Hilary McRae. He caught my eye as the larger than life figure who commanded the stage with his guitar playing. From my view of the standing room only front row position, he made quite the impression. Following the show, I searched out the musicians and found Fern and a few of the others on social media, and have been following their careers ever since. (Read More…)

Imagine with me for a moment… one day, out of the blue, you discover one of your relatives has led a life that you could only dream of! They worked and played with some of the biggest celebrities of the day… and you had no idea! And then think what would you do if they left you boxes of items from that lifetime!

Well, that’s exactly what happened to Christian Clark. His grandfather, Dane Clark, spent time with the likes of Elton John, Freddie Mercury and the band Queen. He worked with television stars of the day, and other household names that you would read about in gossip magazines. He was part of the jet-set that traveled on tour with bands, and worked at fancy venues backstage and on stage in glitzy places like Las Vegas. (read more...)

Recently I had the opportunity to discuss a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Let me give you a little background…

As the Covid lockdown fell upon us, I began to focus my online time to things that would make me happy. I started to rediscover my love of music (it never really left, just had been neglected for quite some time) and in doing so, I stumbled upon the Bee Gees and their extensive music catalog. I have always been a fan of the group, but whether it was the dark days of isolation due to Covid or whatever reason, the timing became perfect for me to take on a deep dive to know everything I could about the Brothers Gibb. I began watching every YouTube video, scouring every website, and haunting all of the social media platforms. I started purchasing their music on CDs and when I got past that point, I started collecting vinyl. I purchased all sorts of books, and then the memorabilia started. I couldn’t get enough. I will be the first to admit that even during non pandemic times, I have a “collection” personality. I want it ALL! (Read more…)

I am so happy to be able to introduce to my blog readers today, Mr. Peter Foldy. Peter is a multi-talented award nominated Musician, a Producer/Writer/Director/Actor in the Film Industry, as well as a talented Photographer. A quick scan of Peter‘s iMDB page produces an impressive list of credits. That being said, I knew when trying to figure out where to start in discussing his craft(s), there was going to be some ground to cover! So, we are breaking down the different avenues into separate Features, starting with his music and an overall general introduction, with more to come down the road. (Read More…)

The year was 1978 and no solo artist was hotter in the Pop Music Scene than Andy Gibb. I was a Senior in High School and Andy‘s music echoed through my days as part of the soundtrack to my life. Although we were close in age, Andy‘s life and mine couldn’t have been more different. While I was studying, he was living the perfect Pop Star dream. Or so I thought.

Andy came from a large family with four older siblings. Three of the siblings were brothers (including a set of twins) who were also sitting at the top of the Pop Music Charts. Those brothers were famously known as the Bee Gees. When Andy became old enough to break into the music profession, he made his way as a solo artist, with there always being talk of him joining his brothers as a Bee Gee at some point. But that was not to be. Just five days after his 30th birthday, he passed away. Many books have been written about the Bee Gees and their rise to fame, and Andy has always been included as part of the family tale. But for all of his success and his tragic young death, he has never been the focus. Until now, that is. (Read more…)
