Braggin' Rights??
Well, as it happens, my friends are very creative and masterful musicians. Al Petteway and Amy White, dear friends of ours here in the Asheville area, have had their music placed in the new Ken Burns documentary series, "The National Parks - America's Best Idea". I played on a couple of the songs on the "Land of the Sky" album by Al and Amy. In fact, I'm proud to have been chosen to be the only 'outsider' on that CD!
Anyway, most of the music on the first show, "The Scripture Of Nature (1851-1890)", was Al and Amy's. Bill Mize also has a song placed in the series, but it's not in the first episode.
So, to cut to the chase, if you go here, you can view the show in its entirety. In my 'ego trolling' I made it easy for you to find my itty-bitty part in the show at around 50:50 remaining. The song starts at about 51:30 remaining. And, I made the credits! (about 1:58 remaining) Yay! So, though there's no cash for me (boo-hoo), I do get a bullet point on my press kit, Yay!
Big thanks to Al & Amy for the opportunity to be heard in that cool context!!!
Update: I just found out that same song is played in episodes 2 and 3.

This is inspirational...stunning...check it out
I wish I could embed the video here, but it's been denied by youtube. But click through and listen to Susan Boyle pour her heart out in front of a live audience on "Britains Got Talent". It's amazing.

Asheville's Almost Famous...
Annie and I are going out...a rare thing these days! We're going to the Cinebarre, a new movie theater/bar/restaurant a few miles from here. They're having an evening of fun in which local bands and music acts show their videos/short films and generally have a good time. They're not taking themselves too seriously as there will be some humorous awards, a red carpet and just a loose time.
Annie and I joke around about "goin' out to see what them young folks is up to." I'm sure we'll skew the average age up a few years but we're hoping it'll be fun.
I'll let ya know when we get back... (Click on the title of this post to read an article about the event.)
