On With The Micheaux.  Work on our Oscar Micheaux Project is proceeding on schedule and since we have had so many questions about the direction and intent of the project we have made the brilliant marketing decision to expose the public to unfinished tracks, something no musician likes to do.  But on our Youtube Channel those interested can see rough cut video from Micheaux’s films and some of our songs.  The music in each case is about 25% complete and we will be uploading new versions as progress is made on each song.

It’s our great pleasure to announce an invitation to play at the prestigious Rome International Film Festival in September, in Rome, Georgia (making travel much easier).  Events will include a lecture on Micheaux by yours truly and full band and multimedia performance at the beautifully restored DeSoto Theater.

We are also extraordinarily pleased to announce that author Patrick McGillian has agreed to do some liner notes for our Micheaux CD.  McGillian wrote the superb Micheaux biography, The Great and Only Oscar Micheaux published by Harper Collins, the book that totally hooked this writer on the subject.  It’s an honor to have him participate.
