I took some unusual photos of the fireworks show at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in Ohio on July 4, and made a movie of them, with music from my set that night: Dawn's Early Light
Thanks for sharing :)

Nice to read you did some work with Railroad Earth. Andy Goessling and I went to HS together, and he played at my wedding. He and Carbone have been cutting it up since the late-70s with The Blue Sparks from Hell. I was fortunate to catch RRE at the UpNorth Festival here in Maine this past summer. It was good to see Andy. Ratdog, the Wailers, and bunch of other notables were in attendance...
Anyway, nice to hear you're mixing it up with some old friends of mine - the world just got smaller.

Andy is the MVP of this project! Here's what he contributed to ten tracks: autoharp, banjo, acoustic guitar, ukulele, clarinet, bass clarinet, 12-string guitar, National steel guitar, baritone saxophone, background vocals
I love that guy!
Some people just can't focus on one discipline ;-)
I'll tell him you said so!
Cheers!
