The New cgabriel.com is Up and Running
This may well be the shortest post I’ve ever written . . . which some people will find most enjoyable! The new cgabriel.com is now up and running!
We’re still making tweaks, adding the last nine or 10 posts, incorporating new plugins, working out the kinks, etc. But in the coming weeks, and most importantly for loyal readers [...]
Week One at WDAY in Fargo
One week in the books and what a week it was. Being a daily talk radio host is tantamount to doing what I did on stage for 26 years: You’re out there for all to see. Some like you, some don’t. Some sing your praises like a brilliant chorus, others insist you’re in the wrong [...]
Christopher Gabriel Program, Meet Facebook
I knew it would happen. I just knew it. My producer here at 970 WDAY, the multi-talented, very sharp, very clever and somewhat devious Erik Matson, has put up what is apparently called The Christopher Gabriel Program Fan Page on………………….. Facebook.
In Fargo, No One Can Hear You Scream.
It wasn’t that long ago I wrote The [...]

Tired
by Marvin Glickman
I’m too tired to move
I don’t mean move
To a different city
I mean move
Like walk from the table
To the bathroom
I’m too tired to think
Well, maybe not
because I’m writing
A poem about
Being tired
I’m just tired

The Christopher Gabriel Program: Shooting High at WDAY (video)

CGabriel and Blog Harbor: Change is in the Air

Here’s Part 2:
CG: Sandy, over the years during rough economic times people have gravitated to the arts for a bit of an escape. What kind of impact has our [...]

Eye on Monday: Stages Theatre Company, Hopkins, MN
This week’s Eye on Monday has a dual purpose. It not only will highlight one of the two professional theatre companies for young audiences in the Twin Cities, but it will also serve as what amounts to an opening act for a new Blog Harbor feature called Spotlight. Spotlight will be an interview series that does exactly what the [...]
