Life in the Next Act Ep. 11 with John Gerdy

In this Under the Covers episode, we meet John Gerdy, scholar, musician, author and illustrator of the book, “Alphabone Orchestra,” a book designed to help children get excited about music and offer adults tidbits of music education through the “Grace Notes” sprinkled throughout.    John is a lifelong musician who has served as an “artist in residence” teaching the Blues to children from Pre-K to grade 6. He performs regularly under the stage name “Willie Marble.”  This is an alphabet book with a music twist. John painted every letter (52 of them... 26 upper case and 26 lower case), each with a bell of a horn incorporated into the letter's design. Someone needed to play those AlphaBones and who better than the triangle headed figure (now named "Dr. Dude B. Fonky)?

John Gerdy’s “Alphabone Orchestra” Is Designed to Help Children Get Excited About Music

Hans Watford

In today’s live Class of 1979 Davidson College reunion episode, we meet authors John Gerdy, Elizabeth Holmes and Hans Watford, Davidson graduates who proved years later that a liberal arts degree really can help you do almost anything, including publish a few books without giving up your day job.    John was a successful college basketball player turned college sports commissioner turned lifelong musician who will read and discuss his latest book, “Ball or Bands,” which explores the educational return on investment of football programs versus investment in music programs.   And speaking of exploring, Elizabeth “Liz” Holmes, whose talents have allowed her to navigate the worlds of prose and poetry, takes us on an adventure in the book she will read and discuss: “Passing Worlds: Tahiti in the Era of Captain Cook.”   And finally, who better to write novels about doctors fighting for their lives in a medical suspense thriller than Hans, our classmate who lives the life of a doctor every day. We’ll find out from Hans whether Dr. Jack Harris will live to make it to book three.   We start with readings from our guest authors. John begins with a part of his book that shows two sides of his personality, SEC sports commissioner by day and a bluesman by night known as Willie Marble.   Liz starts with her poem, “Incidental,” which illustrates what can happen, only incidentally the captain would say, when the people from one world visit themselves on the people of another.   And Hans starts with a scene where Dr. Jack Harris, the lone physician in a decaying and cash-strapped emergency room on a cold Louisiana night, meets a young female assault victim who will lead him on a journey for his and her very survival.
