Happy July 7th Birthday to Gordon Hendricks

Thoughts and Photos to Celebrate a Favourite Ultimate ETA

Gordon greeted me with a kiss and a hug, and asked if I would like a cup of tea.  I can always tell how an interview is going to go in the first few minutes of meeting the interviewee.  I knew this interview was going to go well. Carolyn MacArthur, Editor, SIDEBURNS Magazine

In Canada, the audiences are genuine and warm, not so judging, and they enjoy the concert. Audiences in GB are more excitable if they love the performance.  In Australia, they are quiet at first as they study you, but then they warm up and the excitement builds. Gordon Hendricks.

I love Gordon.  I first met him in Collingwood in 2015 when he returned as a headliner after winning the Grand Champion title in 2014 and before headlining in Memphis.  I brought him to work with me because there was something special I saw in him, and we got along so well. Gordon is the sweetest, most funny down-to-earth guy.  He makes me laugh all the time. Sandra Gold

Life as the son of an Ultimate ETA has its great perks.  I get to see the world’s best every time he performs.  It’s always been in the back of my mind with my father anyway, but now it’s legit!  I feel really proud of him.  We have had many talks in the past about what it would be like to be the world’s best, and I always said "Dad, you are the best," which I’m guessing has always been my job as his son!  Jamie Hendricks

When Gordon was about 4 or 5 years of age, he used to stand outside his grandparents’ house on the front lawn and sing Elvis songs while using a plank of wood as a guitar.  When Elvis passed away and met St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter asked Elvis what they should do with his voice as it was too good to waste.  Elvis looked at St. Peter and said, “Give it to the little boy on the lawn.” David Regan

Birthday Horoscope

Your July 7th birthday horoscope predicts that you are likely to be sharp minded and expressive.  You enjoy the value of life lessons. The world of pranic healing and meditation attracts you and you are anxious to explore your spirituality.  Those born on this day are sensitive and often creative adventurers.  You can be competitive and put a lot of work into getting the things you want out of life.  You can be philosophical in your thinking and inspirational to others who want you to succeed.  You are not afraid to dream the impossible.  As a Cancer in love, you will do anything for your partner.  You are thoughtful and sensitive, and spoiling them is not the word for what you do.  Your soul mate should not be anything less than romantic, understanding, and affectionate.  You give of yourself and expect nothing less from others.  You have a need to be loved and appreciated. 

The birthday astrology analysis for July 7th predicts that those born on this day are funny people.  Most of all, this Cancerian is quite guilty of having a few unexpected pleasures in the most unusual of places.  You are likely to be found taking pictures of something unusual.  You visualize your life as being fit for royalty.  Typically, you are the person to set projects and ideas into motion.  You do not mind working for a comfortable lifestyle.  You like to work alone.  People respect you, so you have an image to uphold.  It is likely you are a person who saves for rainy days, as you know money plays a significant role. 

If July 7th is your birthday, you daydream a lot and are expressive.  You are good at some professions, but perhaps a hobby could prove to be a lucrative and ideal job.  Those born under the zodiac sign of Cancer are highly sexual creatures and enjoy good health, but need to get enough rest to be able to deal with stress.
