You want to be a filmmaker. You've got stories to share. You've got information to pass along. You want to do it with creative expression, and you want to do it better than you ever have before. But you have little money and no backers. Can it be done? And if so, how? Old Man is a demonstration of film production on a shoestring budget. I'll talk more about that in future videos, but just to outline the production's core gear: a first generation iPad Air, some 10 years old, salvaged from a local business, and an $8 microphone "bundle" from a flea market. That's the core of the production hardware. That's it. (Spoiler alert: There's more to the story on the post-production side, but we'll get there.) The creative process beings with a filmmaker bending whatever resources are at hand to the task at hand. Limitations aren't obstacles to creativity, they are opportunities to be creative and inventive. Limitations give you a way to truly blaze your own trail as a filmmaker. Note: Special thanks to our Old Man for getting in front of the camera with actual bruises from a real life fall!

Diamond Joe is a traditional American Folk song in the cowboy song category. The great Cisco Houston and Tom Rush both recorded it. I employ a rusty thumb strum right hand technique to hold down the rhythm section on guitar Diamond Joe - lyrics There is a man you'll hear about Most every place you go, And his holdings are in Texas And his name is Diamond Joe. And he carries all his money In his diamond-studded jaw. And he never was much bothered By the process of the law. Well, I hired to Diamond Joe, boys, I did offer him my hand, And he gave me a string of horses So old they could not stand. Well I liked to die of hunger 'Cause he did mistreat me so, And I never earned one dollar In the pay of Diamond Joe. Well his bread it was corn dodger And his meat I could not chaw, And he drove me near distracted With that waggin' of his jaw. While he tellin' of his story, And I mean to let you know, That there never was a rounder That lied like Diamond Joe. Well, I tried three times to quit him, Boys, but he did argue so That I still am punchin' cattle In the pay of Diamond Joe. And when I'm called to heaven Last thing before I go, Give my blankets to my buddies And give the fleas to Diamond Joe.

Blues videos are notoriously difficult to make - at least, this is what I have found in my past dealings with them. The sultry nature of the songs, especially this one, make it hard to find decent media other than the predictable rubbish I see on other sites. I came to do this edit with media in my hand that I found to be just plain wrong. I had to go back to the drawing board, so to speak, on more than one occasion as I was making it - improvising as I was going along. Finally, I came up with what you will see, or won't see, in this video. I have tried my utmost to just leave it all to the imagination. It really is the best solution. I hope you will enjoy watching it, as much as I enjoyed making it and bringing it to you.

Mattox Butterflies and Snakes CD cover When you load the CD Butterflies and Snakes into your sound system, you know from the onset Crooked Eye Tommy isn't your run-of-the-mill blues band. The entire recording is based around multiple styles, assorted genres and two lifetimes of influence. From the swamp-like vibe of the opening track through the weeping steel guitar highlighting the finale there's a brand new, old school familiarity that resonates throughout each one of the eleven original songs. Brothers Tommy and Paddy Marsh grew up surrounded by music, so when I ran into them in the remote, gold-mining town of Julian, California (long story) it only seemed natural to start with the unique musical collaboration that is Crooked Eye Tommy. "I don't think we define ourselves in any straight up genre," says Tommy. "I think if you listen to our music you'll hear all the influences that we grew up with… certainly blues, Southern rock, country music, bluegrass, we grew up in the Central Valley (California) and there's a tune on the record that's straight country, it's a straight country tune. It's hard to pigeon hole us, I don't think that that's really possible." Let's talk about who's playing in the band? "My brother, Paddy Marsh, he's a songwriter and wrote three of the songs that are on the record and we do a couple of more of his tunes live. Josh Herbst is our drummer, on the bass, Samuel Correa who is a fantastic bass player and formerly with the Dennis Jones Band. Currently on keyboards and vocals Michael Katnic, and on Hammond B3 Bill Bilhou who played on the CD and who is an old friend that I've known for twenty plus years." And you all came together as a band… how? "Actually Billy (Bilhou) and I met strangely enough when we both applied to play in another band," Tommy says. "We both answered an ad to play music with a guy named Bobby Lee, a country guy. We answered the ad and met that day and became friends and ended up working together for about five years in a day job and played music together at night. So he's been family, you know? Paddy and I of course have been playing together since we were children."
