Art, Actually, I think Mike Cooney did some of the guitar work for that film. The problem wasn't so much the direction(Gordon Parks) but the fact that the studio was in the middle of a regime change so the money was cut back for both the production and the publicity.

Any one out there in Mudcat Land familiar with Blind Eric Flatpick's HOWARD HUGHES BLUES?

"If I had a million dollars just like Howard Hughes,
I would have me any woman that I might choose,
I would even buy Chicago just so I could have the blues,
If I had a million dollars just like Howard Hughes."
