MY OWN FILM PROJECT
"THE UN-SUNG HERO"
A 63 minute Docu/Drama about Nashville's "Street Musicians"- talk of needing a smoke,a hit, a drink, a savior, a smile, a tender word. They are the Homeless, the born again, the old-time giggers, the musical hopefuls and, on rare occasion, the aspiring classical musician. They plant themselves in front of some of Nashville's most notable merchant shops - no license required - hoping tourists will toss loose bills and change into their tip cans and instrument cases.One on One interviews on how they came to Nashville with a dream, only to end up on the streets taken by an "IdolMaker" shattered dreams,or getting their priorities on life itself mixed up living on the Streets..

A VERY SPECIAL SONG FOR ME
"Like You Were Here"...By Billie Rainbird
New Comer Billie Rainbird is an intuitive and prolific songwriter. Her material reflects her native abilities; her beautiful voice, her sensual presence and her abundant melodies. The music has its origins in her relationship with the piano. She is self taught and plays entirely by ear. She was born and raised in a small town in Canada and is influenced by the sounds of Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday and the Beatles. An accomplished writer from an early age, Billie previously authored a novel and a children's book before focusing on songwriting. Selected from hours of original home demos, her eight song EP combines early influences with a graceful style. She evokes vivid emotions and evocative appeal in her music and is currently in the studio hard at work on her debut album. Go to my top picks and click on her pic for more info on my friend Billie..

THE 3 MILLION CHILDREN IN AMERICA THAT ARE HOMELESS..WHAT A TERRIBLE WAY TO HAVE TO GROW UP!!!I PRAY EACH DAY THAT THEY ARE SPARED THE AGONY... Over a five-year period, about 2-3 percent of the U.S. population (5-8 million people) will experience at least one night of homelessness. Up to 800,000 people are homeless in the U.S. on any given night. An estimated 20% to 25% of the homeless have a serious mental illness.
Find a Homeless Family or a Homeless Person and somehow brighten their day, the little things we take for granted can mean the world to someone. Take the time each day to realize how fortunate we are and share what we have with those who have struggles that we couldnt even imagine.
