Nevada Bob Finishes Album Six in Nashville

-

Way down South, they have a Studio B
The country folks had a jamboree
They're drinking home brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancing got all shook up

This photo was taken at RCA Studio B. This is the original piano from back in the day. Elvis himself played it many times.

Nevada Bob is still having fun. Here are some of the photos Gary Firstenberg took this week as Bob laid down another set of tracks backed up by some of Nashville's best. Special shout out to Charlie McCoy who makes Bob and every other musician feel at home here in the Capitol of Country.

Frenchmen Art and Books is an independently owned and operated bookstore in New Orleans that now carries Nevada Bob Gordon's 50 Years with the Wrong Woman . The store can be found at 600 Frenchmen Street where it has been cultivating a following since 1978. If you check out their site you might find Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing, which just happens to be a major motion picture that has been attracting audiences this summer. We're guessing that some day Nevada Bob's memoir will become a feature film. It's certainly worthy, a compelling story of resilience, with a mix of both action and humor A s its name proclaims,  Frenchmen Art and Books is more than a bookstore. They also feature original work by New Orleans artists Amzie Adams , David McPherson , Patrick Sart and others.  "I'm the fourth owner," owner David Zalkind told us.

Nevada Bob Gordon is preparing for another road trip, this time to Stillwater, Minn, where he is slated to produce an audio version of his memoir 50 Years with the Wrong Woman at Wild Horse Recording.

Owner/producer/audio engineer Daryl Bolicek is a great guy who is worth a story himself. To set up a time in drop in contact Daryl at wildhorserecording@gmail.com.

In the heart of Miami's Little Havana there's a wonderful little store named Sentir Cubano. When Nevada Bob Gordon was in Miami this fall he discovered this hidden gem on Calle 8, a store dedicated to Cuban culture.  Nevada Bob met owner Maria Vazquez they hit it off famously. Maria described him as a true American hero. " Bob is part of the culture we present here in the store. Hard working, successful, positive people....  He's like an All-American Cowboy... He's an amazing person. It's commendable when you are 83 and still going,"  Vazquez said. Maria and Miguel Vazquez opened the store in 2001. "It was time to create a store dedicated to Cuban culture," she said. Thus was born Sentir Cubano. Maria shared some of her own story. "Our parents brought us here (to Miami) when we were kids, in 1960-61. As we were growing up we didn't fully appreciate our background. But when we became older we discovered afresh how rich our culture is. We...
