Well, folks, its been a busy month even though I haven't really had any "gigs" booked....
I was asked to help out on a video production for the JFK Lancer(myspace) organization by my friend and colleague, Joey Granati, titled "The Torch is Passed"(Blog on the making of "The Torch is Passed").
In the process, I was then asked by the organization's president,
Sherry Fiester, to do a 10 minute looping video for use at the
registration area and to be played between speakers. I finished the
preliminaries on the project in two days. My first attempt at video
production and I think I did pretty well. My next effort for them will
be some You Tube placements as promotional material for drumming up
support and attendance at the conference.I'll be designing a Facebook
page also. The above link will take you to the myspace page.
My
Mom, Janet, and I will be travelling to Dallas in November to go to the
annual conference for the JFK Lancer organization, where I will be
working with the sound and video production at the event. The history
is fascinating, and I look forward to some Mom/Daughter time. We were
planning a trip to Florida, then this came up...we did Florida already
2 years ago, and poor Florida will never be the same...the only thing
I'm worried about is if she finds an IHOP near the hotel...I'll never
get her out of there! I'm also searching for sports bars that we will
be able to watch the Steeler game at...in ENEMY TERRITORY! LOL If
anyone has a suggestion of a Dallas Steeler bar, please let me know!
Anyway....
it is an honor to be asked to do this work for this organization, and
to be invited to the conference. I'm looking forward to meeting many
interesting people, learning a bit along the way, and using the skills
I've developed to make it a success.
I've also been asked to add
my voice to "The Torch Is Passed" in the ending harmonies. This is very
humbling for me, because of the historical significance of this piece
of music. Wow.
I will also be performing the
National Anthem at the opening of the ceremony at Dealey Plaza on
Sunday, November 22. THIS truly is an honor.
Please go to JFK Lancer
(website) to find out what they are doing. It's not just another
"conspiracy site". The history and documentation of JFK's life and
work as well as that of his brother Robert is eye opening and quite
timely in today's history being made as we watch. Thanks again for your
confidence in me Sherry,Debra, Joey, and JFK Lancer. I'll do my best.
Oh,
yeah, I'll be starting up production on a promotional video for the
Granati "School of Rock" soon, as well as Dave World Studio, and maybe
I'll get some time to actually start work on the next CD at some
point......
I will be at the BBT on 10/13 for open stage where
another of my friends and colleagues, Ron Soltis, will be featured
performer. Ron is a talented songwriter in his own right, so come down
and hear a rare, acoustic, original half hour set ! Also, yeah, I'll be
playing during the open stage, and if you are an acoustic artist,
originals or covers, come on down, too!
Even with all of this, I
am still looking for solo, duo, trio or full band gigs in the
Pittsburgh area....all references appreciated!
Be blessed with every breath!
