SON OF MOVIE LEGEND TO INTRODUCE ‘GILDA’ IN BIGFORK
Bigfork local Peter Ford is the son of movie legend Glenn Ford and has writ- ten a book about his father’s life, chron- icling the Hollywood glitz and personal turmoil in “Glenn Ford: A Life.”
On Monday, Oct. 12, at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts, located at 526 Electric Ave., Peter Ford will introduce the classic film “Gilda,” star- ring Glenn Ford and silver-screen beauty Rita Hayworth.
Desserts will be available for pur- chase during intermission, and all pro- ceeds will be split between the Bigfork Food Bank and the Rotary Club to sup- port Bigfork’s continued efforts on the Swan River Bike Path.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased from Rotary members or at The Jug Tree.

“WE DECIDED, ‘WELL, WE SHOULD HAVE A NEIL DIAMOND-OFF, BUT THEN IT BECAME, ‘YOU DO YOUR BEST NEIL DIAMOND AND I’LL DO MY BEST NEIL YOUNG.’”
- NICK SPEAR, NEIL YOUNG IMPERSONATOR
community here.
Together, the duo has an easy back
and forth, each lobbing jokes at the other, and each one making the other laugh with every other sentence. Such a friendship lends itself to great come- dic chemistry on stage.
The comedy concert is 70 min- utes long, with plenty of Diamond’s and Young’s staple songs mixed throughout.
Spear said the fictional meeting between the two mega-stars starts out antagonistically, given that the two are incredibly different when it comes to their theories on how music should be marketed. (Young famously eschews media attention, while Diamond loves the spotlight.)
Eventually, though, it becomes more of a “weird collaboration” between them, and also stars a few other famous Neils from history. Musi- cians Don Caverly and Marco Forcone
round out the cast.
The Oct. 9 showing takes place at
the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts, which has already had solid ticket presales, Spear said. A follow-up show on Oct. 10 will happen on Crush’s stage, though there is only room for 80 peo- ple. Both shows start at 8 p.m.
Tickets for the shows are available atwww.eventbrite.com.
Spear and Mead both said they’ve had a great time putting the show together, and gave little away about how the Neils end up – will the warble and mutton chops of Young outpace Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” enthu- siasm? Will the sunglasses continue to grow larger with each scene? Will audiences have to choose between two iconicmenofAmericanmusic?
These answers, and more, await.
“It’s really funny,” Spear said. “And it’s thoroughly entertaining.”
