Wow! Have I been MIA??? Yes. But not because of lack of work. Updates: I finished re-mastering, re-editing and translating a Stax Museum of American Soul short film; Edited loads of i-Bank testimonial commercials (I'm switching banks by golly! They're loved by many.); Line-producing a Newport Folk Festival documentary - keep your eye out for it - and collecting stories from Memphis tenants evicted under the most atrocious circumstances.

Plus the home-office farm is prolific.

Thanks Chris McCoy and Memphis Flyer. Awesome to be featured here. https://www.memphisflyer.com/FilmTVEtcBlog/archives/2020/11/02/music-video-monday-robert-allen-parker

Today's Music Video Monday is high-minded. In a city filled with guitar gunslingers, Robert Allen Parker stands out. You might have seen the veteran guitarist...

What a year - It started with a residency in Knoxville, TN working with very creative students at the Webb School and ended there with the onset of Covid 19. Luck and good vibes has kept work coming - music videos, videos on justice, and new equipment. Not much time to post here.... major love y'all.

Wow! Can’t believe I missed the virtual q&a last night. Y’all, check out the film. I’m happy to have a credit in here as interviewer. Lots of folk resurrected from the archive plus new performances and interviews - a treasure trove of history and music. Terrance Blanchard plus a little Bonnie, a little Keef... plenty of Nola jewels & gems and some beautiful land and water scapes. I can hear the horn riffs and calliope now.

“Up From the Streets,” a history and celebration of the music of New Orleans hosted by Grammy-winning artist Terence Blanchard, will have a “virtual cinema release” starting…
