Welcome
to episode 74 of See Hear Podcast.
Tim
was absent, but Bernie and I spoke with first time director Boaz
Goldberg about his 2019 documentary Tomorrow’s Gone. The film
serves as both a chronology and a character piece on Israeli
guitarist and singer Charlie Megira aka Gabi Abudraham. He started
recording music in the mid 90s with music that was drenched in the
likes of Santo & Johnny, Duane Eddy, Dick Dale and Sun era Elvis.
Boaz met Charlie early on and was convinced he needed to document the
music and thoughts of his friend. Charlie’s personal and
professional life went in directions neither would have guessed.
Sadly, the demons he was wrestling for much of his life got the
better of him.
Tomorrow’s
Gone serves as a beautiful tribute to a talented musician. We speak
about Charlie, the music he loved, his spiritual leanings, the
Israeli music industry of the day…..and headless Elvis statuettes.
Bernie and I are extremely grateful that Boaz took the time to speak
and would urge you to look out for the film on a streaming service or
film festival. The story doesn’t have thousands of talking heads
talking of Charlie’s importance – he has the music to do that.
