Mark Gordon Gaskill

Songs From Then and Now

Gahanna, Ohio singer and songwriter Mark Gordon Gaskill performs for multiple audiences a wide-ranging repertoire of songs from 1900 to the present, accompanying himself on keyboard and guitar.  He offers programs from the radio and television series "Your Hit Parade," standards from The Great American Songbook, 50's to 90's cover Songs From Then And Now, and original compositions.

Your performance lifts us and "takes us away."  I'll be floating the rest of the day!!

What an amazing show for the Dublin Community Senior Citizens!  Mark Gordon Gaskill is a wonderful singer and musician.  In addition to the music he performs, the backstory information he shares on each piece was greatly appreciated by the audience.  Here are a few of their comments:  

          What a great show!

          We left feeling so good!

          Wish I had made notes of what he explained!

          We knew most all of the songs.

                              Wanda Kamler, Senior Adult Program Supervisor, City of Dublin, Ohio

 

Want to let you know that the residents thoroughly enjoyed Mark's performance and are looking forward to future shows.

          Jim Morris from Wellington Village, Hilliard, Ohio

 

I believe we had over 50 residents who attended your performance which is a credit to your talent.  Our folks enjoyed listening to your stories, your songs and appreciated an opportunity to remember events from their youth and to sing along with you.  It was a magical evening!  We will look forward to you returning for another performance . . .

I've never been so entertained for an hour as I was by you this evening!

Young at Heart members gather each month to socialize and share . . . a program that, this month featured Mark performing his songs from "Your Hit Parade" . . . The group very much enjoyed the entire presentation that, for many, brought back wonderful memories: they applauded often and gave Mark a standing applause at the end.  His performance encouraged the Young at Heart organization to again book his performance for a special Veteran's Tribute luncheon.

When you come to play the whole atmosphere here changes!

You gave me an hour of heaven!

What a great performance!  We so enjoyed Mark's music- the variety of songs and music was great.  It was a walk down memory lane.  We sang along to those great tunes of yesterday.  I want to thank you both again for the performance.  Residents are still raving about Mark's music!  We had a Resident Council Meeting yesterday and they were asking if he could come back soon to play for them.  I told them you live in Ohio but had said when you were in town you would let me know.  So it will be an extra special treat for them when you visit Des Moines.  Thanks again and good luck expanding your performances in Ohio.  Once they hear Mark play/sing your phone will be ringing off the hook.

They sang that song at our wedding!

I want you to know how much you've helped me today!

This is the best show we've ever had here . . . . He has the kind of voice that when he sings it touches your heart!
