Wrapped up filming for Madame Torment "Get Out" today. Next few weeks should be fun. Loading, splicing, edits, soundtrack, syncs..... But first... a quick stop downtown tomorrow for some video transfers.... MiniDv tapes are nearing extinction, therefore, computers these days and their operating systems no longer recognize the connections. Oi !! Oi !! Oi !!!

Good friend for many years, met so many other wonderful people and artists through Alexa. An inspiration in more than just art and music.
And this video was shot at the White Eagle Saloon....
As long as I have been here, I have yet to find a venue as unique in style, history and charm as the White Eagle... still tops my list of favorite places for a local show.
