See Hear Podcast Episode 74 - Interview with Boaz Goldberg about "Tomorrow's Gone"

There have been many 50s music stylists who pay tribute to Elvis
and other icons of the rock and roll era but appear locked in a
retro time warp. Then there are musicians like Charlie Megira who
are consumed by the music alone – they’re doing something new and
exciting based on the foundations of 50s rock and roll. 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. If you’ve been enjoying the show, please give
