Reinstate Hank in Rolling Stone

The newest issue of Rolling Stone (1066) with several different covers of "100 Greatest Singers of All-Time" has an small article in the "Smoking Section" where they interview Hank III and they link the Reinstate Hank website. There is also a longer version of the interview on Rolling Stone's website where Hank III mentions Keith and myself working on the project. Check out the magazine and here is the link to the online article:

IBWIP Podcast, Alabama, and Seven Signs Site


Today the highly popular podcast "It Burns When I Pee" (IBWIP) will be dedicated to the Reinstate Hank campaign, Metal Farm Magazine and will have interviews from the Metal Farm Release Party in Cincinnati with Keith Neltner, Randy Bake, Sarah Luegers, and myself. It will also be featuring music from one of my favorite bands The Kentucky Struts who performed at the Release Party. A special thanks to Blake Clayton and his crew for coming down from Illinois just for the party and letting us be a part of his program. If you are into country music, but NOT "corporate" country music, check out his program, a lot of great bands are always on there mixed in with old country that he pays tribute to. It's a great program.
The full website for Seven Signs will be up and running in the morning. The site looks great and I must thank Adam Martin for all his hard work on the site. If you want to see more of Adam's work you can visit his website: www.AMartinDesign.com
Alabama was a great trip. We stopped in Manchester TN on the way down and spent the day with Mr. Charlie Louvin who was nothing short of a true Hillbilly gentleman and we appreciate his, and his wife's time and hospitality at their beautiful home. It was great to actually visit Montgomery and see the place where Hank Williams legacy began. We interviewed Driftin' Cowboys RD Norred and Braxton Schuffert, The Hank Williams Museum manager Beth Petty, and Joey Allcorn. The trip was very surreal and thanks goes out to all these folks for talking with us and being a part of our project. An extra special thanks goes to Joey Allcorn and Lauryn for taking time out to show us around and letting us stay with them. I also want to thank Keith Neltner, as always being there on everything and also Roman Titus for going along and taking stills of trip. His photography on the trip is a huge addition to the overall project. You can checkout some of Roman's work here: www.RomanTitus.com

Election Day

I hope everyone is having memorable Election Day.  Whether your side wins or not, it's a huge day in American history so just embrace it and remember where you were and what you were doing on this day.  And yes, I voted.
I want to send a sincere congratulations to my good friend David Givens who we had the honor of shooting his campaign ads.  He was elected to the 9th District seat in the Kentucky State Senate.  I want to thank him for allowing us to be apart of it, along with Russ Goff and Vincent Fields as well for letting us work with David on this campaign.  Below are a couple of the ads that we shot.
Some more good news I have is that Seven Signs is finally available for sale!!! You can go to
SevenSignsFilm.com and order it.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
I will be leaving in the morning going to Manchester TN to interview country music legend Charlie Louvin for the Reinstate Hank film and on to Montgomery AL to meet up with Joey Allcorn and learn and see the roots of Hank Williams in his hometown.
Also, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers DVD on Halloween went GREAT and I want to thank my crew Cody Meek, Steve Greer, Daniel Paxton, and Jess Sandidge for filming with me, I also want to thank Casey Perkins for taking some pics, and Joshua Black Wilkins for doing his photography for the DVD as well.  I must also thank John Tyler Bagby, Greg Brock, and Jacob Ennis for lending me cameras and Tom and Katie Frank and Donna and Mason Horton for letting me stay at their home once again.  I couldn't do the things that I do if it wasn't for being blessed to have these people around me helping.
Get to the Seven Signs site and get a copy, again props to David, and I will be back in touch when I get back from Alabama.
