Phillips & Glick Glick & Phillips are performing two shows at Court Square Theater on Saturday November 2^nd at 2:30 PM and Sunday November 3^rd at 7:00 PM. This will be the first time the aging cornball music and humor team have produced a show of their own in 28 years, and will be their debut as a duet in this wonderful theater. Featured will be many audience favorites from the past decade as well as a few medical and local sociopolitical satirical parodies (for our friends this means funny songs about doctors and local stuff). Homer and Jethro songs figure prominently in the song list. The proceedings will be recorded, hopefully to get tapes and CD’s put together to meet the increasing audience demands. Advance tickets may be purchased only during the hours 10-2 beginning October 28^th through November 1^st at the Court Square Theater Box Office in downtown Harrisonburg (433-9189), down the hall from Calhoun’s Restaurant. The Box Office will open 1 hour before each performance and any remaining tickets will be sold at that time. Admission price is $10 in advance and $12 the day of performance. Since they cannot seem to figure out the credit card machine, sales are cash/check only. Tickets are expected to go fast so early purchase is advised.

G&P are coming off a short but well attended run at CST in "The Sunshine Boys", a Neil Simon comedy. Other performances this year have included being featured "entertainment" at the Association of Applied and Therapeutic Humor conference in Baltimore, a Gesundheit Institute program in San Francisco, a concert for the guys in the yard at San Quentin State Prison, and the recent Virginia Good Samboree at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds. Other past career highlights include annual conferences of the Virginia Well Water Drillers Association and the Virginia State Animal Control Officers as well as the Central Virginia Funeral Directors Ladies’ Night Out. They died laughing.

Music has been a big part of John and Steve’s life since they began playing Bluegrass music in the basement of the student dormitory at the Medical College of Virginia their freshman year in 1974. Since then they have played many different types of music including Scottish, Old Time, Rock and Roll, and just about everything else except Disco. Immediately after finishing their medical training they toured dance festivals Great Britain with John Turner, a champion Scottish fiddler from Virginia, and a group of folk dancers. Their first performance as a duet with guitar and mandolin was providing comfort for Phillips’ mother as she lay dying in 1978. She smiled.

Over the years humor and funny songs gradually became the mainstay of their repertoire even as they played other styles of music in different venues. John Glick has written folk and other songs which have been adopted and performed by others.

Maintaining a steady day job is always a big part of the life of musicians and entertainers until they turn professional. G&P keep careers as medical professionals since they can’t seem to do it with their act. They were partners in Family Practice with Dr. Monty Brothers, another MCV classmate, in Elkton and Shenandoah for 10 years before Phillips specialized in Occupational Medicine and Glick in Medical Acupuncture. Steve is now the Medical Director of Rockingham Memorial Hospital’s Center for Corporate Health, and John is in private practice in Harrisonburg.

Phillips & Glick Glick & Phillips now have a new website at www.glickandphillips.com . Information on contacting them for "professional" non-medical services can be found there. They are managed by The Lovely Debra, who is Steve’s wife and John’s sister (They live in Elkton).
