It's Showtime!!!

So. We are at the end of the road. In a few hours all the hard work and worry will be put aside and "Tales of the Road-Highway 61" will have its premiere before a televised audience. 

Good--bad--or otherwise---TOTR is my production and that is the way I wanted it. I'm sure there will be some people who'll wonder what all the fuss was about... thinking that the film didn't live up to the hype.  Others could pick nits over this or that. But for the first time in my career I've created a long-form production, from start to finish,  that looks on screen as it did in my head. The elements I visualized have come to life. (in large measure) As I write this, I want to throw up I'm so nervous. I really hope viewers like the documentary. Like it a lot. I am proud of this first effort of mine. Naturally, I see every mistake and know how I'll change it the next time.

The Next Time. Part Two. Yes, I'm just crazy enough to turn the Cadillac around and go back up the road and include the stories we just didn't have time for. First--a little celebration--then a LOT of sleep!

Enjoy the show. Drop me a line and tell me what you thought!
