Everybody has a story...

I will be telling my story about "The Lost Vegas Art Project" tomorrow at 12:30 pm (e.s.t.). on "thatradio.com" one of the first internet radio stations, that you can tune into (and watch!) on this link. The song "Everybody" playing under the images this week is by a great band called "Rider Jones". I came across this duo (Philip Rider and Bohdi Jones) while walking to the screening of my film "Cracked Not Broken" in Vancouver last May at the "Frames of Mind Film Festival" . They were busking on the street in front of a shopping mall doing their thing. I stopped and listened to a few songs and was blown away by the talent these two guys had. I bought their CD as a souvenir, and I am glad I did...Every time I put on their music I am brought back to that glorious weekend in a beautiful city doing some pretty cool things. I guess that is what I hope comes out of the "Lost Vegas Original Music CD" that I am putting together for this project. I have uncovered a group of outstanding independent musicians that add a layer to the images that I have photographed. The quality of music by Independent bands that is available to everyone on the internet is so much better to me than the crap that you hear over the commercial radio stations these days. In fact if I never have to hear another Bono(U2) song, or even worse a Bono speech..it will be too soon. Shut up -shut up -shut up !!!!

As the song says...

"I guess I should be happy, it's never been all bad.
I know I've been through alot, but I'm thankful for that
Another chapter ends, another one begins..."

Here we go...
