Film Description:
I spent forty years in the recording studio as a song publisher and record producer. Before that, I played five-string banjo in a small bluegrass group. We toured coast to coast. It was fun, but after several years, I put the banjo down, and began working in the studio producing records. At first I recorded some of my compositions with my folk music friends, like Mama Cass, Denny Dougherty, Jerry Yester, and Zal Yanovsky. I discovered other great songwriters and began recording them. Artists like Tim Hardin, John Sebastian, Norman Greenbaum, and later Chris Isaak.
This is how I spent four decades! It was a journey with highs and lows, successes and failures. I got to know the artists, songwriters, and musicians, all with the talent and perseverance to live life making music. They all have my deep respect and admiration. It’s not easy.
I was lucky enough to be able to travel the world and film musicians everywhere I went, folkloric shows and street buskers alike. This film is a collection of live, on-location recordings I shot during my travels.
