Dear Folks,

Rik Palieri has woven together video and pictures of Utah Phillips and many of the performers from our CD to create a lovely tribute to Utah.

You can watch it here.

See how many faces you can recognize....

Nice I like the empty chair at the end.

Although he's not included in the credits - (sorry - my fault) - our own dear Micca was responsible for a couple the photos there.

Yes, apologies to anyone who didn't get included in the credits but should have. Rik was working without a scorecard....

Good though!

Incredible video!
Thanks. I think it really called forth the essence of Utah and his music.

(Where was that box car?)

After one of the latter day Fox Hollows, Utah and Sparky both played a few concerts near where I lived, and I went to every single one. I always had the best time, and even if Utah's jokes didn't change much, I never got tired of them. Never got tired of the songs, and never will.

That is really wonderful! Thanks so much. Is there a way to get a CD of it to Art Thieme? I don't think his dial-up does well enough for him to watch it. I think he'd really enjoy it and appreciate it.

Thanks for posting it.

The "Singing Through the Hard Times" video is a wonderful idea. Art certainly needs to see it, Kat. I think I'll eventually manage to download it for myself if I try in the middle of the night when demand is low.

I've asked Rik Palieri if he can try and burn a CD - he's looking into it and will come back to me, so hold off on the costly downloading for the moment.

The video has been up for less than two days and already has over 500 views. That's great! Probably only about half of those are Jacqui and Kendall and I watching it over... and over... and over....

Keep passing it on! I've always wanted to go viral (in the internet sense).

It's worth mentioning that Julia Friend, who sang in the chorus of Singing Through the Hard Times, had her name inadvertently left off the credits in the video. So please allow me to say that Julia was singing and sounded great (as always)!

The CD is widely available, but the best way to buy it is to order it directly from Righteous Babe:

This CD set is well worth the price, not just for Utah's wonderful songs but also for the great performances and interpretations of those songs.

I'm about dumbfounded as to how I missed this thread, and the video first time around; I bought the CD set right away, and followed the whole nomination adventure. The Video is excellent.
