New contest at Cigar Box Nation: Can you make a musical instrument from a Spam can? Details at http://www.cigarboxnation.comPosted 5 hours ago from Twitter view more





My documentary about cigar box guitars, Songs Inside The Box was broadcast on Alabama Public Television in April. Most of it was shot at the Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza in Huntsville, Alabama, an annual event that brings cigar box guitar hobbyists and professional musicians together. Holy Smoke over Birmingham is a mouth watering documentary I did about Birmingham, Alabama barbecue restaurants. It was broadcast on Alabama Public Television several times and was featured in the New York City Food Film Festival in June 2008 where 750 New Yorkers gathered at Water Taxi Beach to eat barbecue and watch the film. Richard Johnston: Hill Country Troubadour is my documentary about the Memphis street musician and one-man-band, Richard Johnston. It has been featured at several film festivals and has won five awards. In Scrambled Films I followed three teams participating in the Sidewalk Scramble, a 48 hour film competition conducted by the folks at the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival in Birmingham, Alabama. All three teams completed award winning short films in a weekend and you get to see how in this documentary. Up from the Ashes: The Rebirth of Phenix City is my documentary about an Alabama city that had a reputation for being "the wickedest city in America" until the National Guard crushed a crime syndicate there in 1954. The documentary was nominated for an Emmy Award. Several years ago I did a documentary on kudzu, a vine that grows widely in the southeastern US. The Amazing Story of Kudzu was distributed to public TV stations nationwide and I guess I'll never live that one down! I love blues music and enjoy taking pictures at concerts.
I created a couple of websites to help people find information about the city and state in which I live: |
