OXFORD, MISS. (TLV) -
Oxford has a lot of three things: pretty girls, law-breaking construction workers and guitar players. One thing Oxford doesn?t have a lot of is drummers, and that number is about to be lower. Bradley Gordon, "Gordo," as he is known to the faithful, is one of the best drummers around and is about to leave not
just Oxford but also the United States. That is bad news for more than one group of people: Gordon is the drummer for Rocket 88, Pithecanfuncus Erectus, Space Invaders, Mosaic and also does session work when and where needed.
Gordon also serves the visual arts community as an art teacher. Armed with his art education degree, Gordon has taught at Oxford High School, Oxford University School and Holly Springs High School. Now, the Clarksdale native is moving to Taiwan to teach English, where he plans to continue playing with local musicians and also serve as a DJ.
